It occurs that I might be
Replaying same game-Clarence Holm
Waste
Morality Check
feeling so righteous
piles of plastic used by me
recycled todayscheming refusal to say
these things are really waste-Clarence Holm

Prairie Rose flower covered in dust
Hot dry summer, with no cloud going by.
Waiting by the roadside, futile beauty, it seems unjust
Those pretty unseen colors; Soft muffled sigh.
Budding in the Dakota sunshine
Pink summer’s blossom, thriving all alone.
Yellow eyes unblinking set in a harsh design
Roots in sandy soil and littered with stone.
It seems like a squandered struggle
A wonder gone to waste
But I was there to appreciate the trouble
Those others had missed in haste.

red on black
wasting time today
black on red-Clarence Holm
Hesitancy
Days of indecision and drifting currents cause an eddy to lament
Swirling pools of thoughts, considered then pushed aside.
Calm streams offer no challenge, just relaxed consent.
A journey squandered; life’s thrill has been denied.
– Clarence Holm
