Just to keep my brain working, a hard job it is, I take a word and make a short poem...this is one of those...

Cemetery…


 


Filled with concrete,


Isn’t that so neat,


Covered with soil,


Do they use peat?


 


Grass grows over it so green,


Does the body emit a sheen?


The grass grows so much better,


Or so for some it seems,


Is it because the body creates,


Some sort of growing agent,


Or is it just the nature of,


The cemetery plot, so clean…

There is a poem, written by a cowboy poet (whose name I cannot
recall at the moment) that tells the story of how the grass regrows,
fertilized by both the manure of the horse the cowboy rides, and then, later on, the cowboy himself. Another horse and cowboy come by
later on down the line, and the cycle begins again.

Good thoughts here, Ed, even if they are about a cemetery plot.
