compost heap

poetry

yesterday’s fruit and vegetables
sitting, mounded together
in piled putrescence,
attracting fliesbeatlesgrubsworms,
slowly rotting,
slowly decomposing,
slowly disappearing;
such is life.

    whoa, only just noticed there is a fruit theme emerging until i scrolled down after posting. the last four lines of this poem are great, line seven really sets you up for the eighth.
