This thought came to me standing in the banks of the river Ehen near a gentle swirling pool where litter gathered as if resting on the journey down river.

Standing under the tree
I watched a leaf flutter down.
It danced on the unseen air and
The breeze flicked it as gently aside
As the Squeezy bottle I saw on the tide.
The leaf floated to its verdant bed
And lay motionless
Among -
Tin cans
Plastic bottles
Bottle tops
Rubber dolls (headless)-
And began its return to the earth
To feed its mother
And another
And another

Golden girls and boys all must as old tin cans, return to rust.
Apologies to The Bard

Nice work. :D

ps How dare somebody do that to a Cumbrian river. It's like pi**ing in a font! :x

'Unto rust they shall return' may be an appropriate sentiment.
A thought...
So often today local urinals close at 5-30 so sometimes pi**ing in a font is the only option open to the man or woman about town. Cumbrian rivers remain unconcerned!!
