Captain Planet Would Approve

The 15th of November is America Recycles Day. A little bit closer to home, Clean Up Australia Day events are in March 2010, and the Australian Sustainable Cities awards will be presented in October.

Here at JimmyD’s we’re committed to recycling every week of the year, and we were before those chic green shopping bags came into vogue. We recycle our packaging, don’t use plastic bags, and we like gifts that are environmentally friendly, like these journals.

And of course JimmyD’s is full of good-quality recycled books. Come in and buy a second-hand book today! Ride your bike, run, or walk. Refuse a bag or buy one of our nice durable shopping bags! Write your eat-local shopping list in one of our Australian-made recycled journals! Buy some locally made coffee (we buy our coffee off a local roaster) and make an environmentally friendly day of it in Springwood!

POETRY-What is the Zeony?

What is the Zeony?

 What is the Zeony?

One part water shifting

Over breast untrembling.

Noting a branch of melaleucas,

Unguent at its leg.

Its knees are bent and

Shine like pomegranates.

The Auguries of its

Left hock speak

To lacing on

Its coronet.

POETRY – Tears for an Administrator

Tears for an Administrator,
Tears for a songwriter,
Tears for an administrator,
Tears under a moon
So crisp and full
It could cut your fingertip.
These days overlap
At a time of spring,
When messages of love
Coalesce and jasmine
And lily fight for my
Transcendental soul.
Yet my tears are only external,
And like the sodden earth
Or the fecund, mossy
Unhewn stone, they will
Evaporate, relinquish
Their secrets and
Give birth to the lithe,
Bountiful beauty within you.
