                 Paper Factory


The day begins in red
works its way in rainbow
with a flutter of
newsprint and manila
and delicious onionskin.

Plain or pretty
discrete brown or
provocative pink
with a scent.

But,
the tree has lost
its scent,
true green has been covered
by a mist of progress gray,
I fear the future will
be wrapped in plain brown.

Martie~

Just think of all the trees we are
saving with this electronic genius.
(well, as long as we only print them out
on re-cycled paper)

You're a jewel.

Martie, thank you so much for posting for Earth Day. This is a wonderful post for the challenge cause. I agree we all sometimes print just two much. I hear the bank are trying to convince customers to receive their bill electronically. even though I know they are just doing it from a greedy perspective it will save alot of trees.

perfect martie...love the images and colors in this...so much said in so few perfect words.
take care, jm

 Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there.
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind...
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as I've got the wind...
The wind and your love to carry me.
