the river’s talking
narrating tidal stories
garbage ebb and flow

My response to Carpe Diem #1425 El Río Hablador (The Talking River)
Our prompt for today is ‘El Rio Hablador’ (The Talking River), a nickname for the Rimac River, which is is located in western Peru.
writing in north norfolk 
Sad and frustrating.

A very poignant haiku Kim. We have community litter picks and pick up individually anyway when we see litter. It is a shame when it is left and no one picks it up.

I hate to see nature spoiled by litter. It costs nothing to dispose of litter and it’s so heartening to hear of communities that clear it. Thank you for reading and commenting.
