A few days ago I wrote a poem on my blog entitled “Black Friday.” This creative animated film by Steve Cutts so perfectly illustrates it that I had to share it with you. Really inventive and indicative of our modern world.
Plastic World
There is a growing flood of it, a mountain and a wall.
Soon I fear that there will be nothing else at all.
If we do not terminate its profligate production,
bring about the changes that will lead to its reduction,
our entire plastic world will be bought with our blood.
We will face oblivion through fire and through flood.
No air to breathe, no water left to slake our growing thirst.
If we don’t do our best to change, I fear we’ll earn the worst.
The prompt words today from 4 different sites are plastic, flood, oblivion and termination. I think the relationship between these words is so obvious and sinister that I was determined not to pursue that path, but instead to find a more optimistic way to make use of them. I tried all day to find another poem in these words, but I have finally sunk to the inevitable. Let’s hope the world does better. Here’s my poem, about twelve hours later than usual.

Kidnapped
Trapped by my imagination, heading towards a star.
Suddenly, that far horizon isn’t very far.
If I don’t resist it, it is always there for me,
and when I’m with it, I am in the best of company.
The prompt words today are trap, imagination and horizon. Here are links:
