NATURE’S  LITTER

Rocks, some broken branches,

some dead, dried leaves from

last autumn, strewn on the path,

as I meandered through the woods….

Yet they didn’t bother me - like empty

beer cans, hamburger cartons and

plastic bags do. What does it take to

get folks to be more thoughtful when

it comes to keeping streets, parking

lots and a walk through the woods

clean and clear of human litter? No, I
wouldn't empty a garbage bag of egg shells
and milk cartons on their living room rug.
