Can of Ashes

Palm tress and orange groves
Cattle roam free
As the farmland grows
Corn taller
Then the tip of the nose
Of the beaten scarecrow
Who shows no fear
Of the hungry crows
A utopian community
Only a pure person
Can truly know
Incidental woes
That blemish
And tarnish
A reputation
One could admonish
Actions one should abolish
From daily living
From orienting
With the impoverished
Challenged and anguished
Rely on perseverance
As if despair has vanished
In the ash can
Collects the remnants
The bits, bolts and pieces
Of whatever can be salvaged
Preserved from that moment
Fossilized its importance
Then theorize its components
What love it must have felt
To have actually had owned it

I see that you have had many reads and no comments on this poem...I thought I would be the brave one and go first.
I like this poem because I am still thinking about what it means and I keep re-reading it and finding more. A deeper meaning behind it all...good job!

Okay, each time I read this, I just keep thinking of the same two things...Florida, and a trip down memory lane...lol...I don't know...I think I'm definitely missing something here! Still enjoyable to try and decode, and I had some nice visuals reading it.
