Time once again for #SoCS. Woo hoo! The lovely Linda writes and I rewrite “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “container.” Use the word “container” any way you’d like. Or think about a container of some kind and write about it. Enjoy!” To join the fun, here are the rules and ping back.
Hmmm. Think, think, and think. Container??
My first thought is work related. We’re building “containers” to hold important documentation. How boring!
Next!
I think we’ll be buried in trees. The root ball (biodegradable pod) is a fantastic place to contain our ashes. Lulu or Pony mentioned that. As plans for B and me.
Morbid? Maybe? Or humane. I was strangely touched. Recycling Jilly loves the idea. Now for an off the cuff acrostic! Inspired by Peter. Well the acrostic part anyways.
Cremation begins anew
One’s legacy goes on
Nourishing the soil
Tree roots
Angling deeper
Into the earth
Nearer to the core
Eco-friendly
Repose
From the addled wandering mind of one J-Dub McGillicutty. This is stream after all. Wishing you all the best. #free48.
As always more to come.
I love the idea of a biodegradable pod! 🙂 Nicely penned! 🙂

Good idea. Perhaps that could replace my limericks.

Very true. Not much different from current burial practices just substitute pod for coffin.

Sipping a margarita under the Jill tree is a comforting thought. Except for them ‘but you’d be dead’ part. Good job!
I hope you have a nice weekend. Keep your containers above ground, or in the cloud if it’s that work stuff.

Lol 🙂 I love the thought of people having a drink under the Jill tree. Comforts me too!
Cloud containers are all I have time for lately. Will be so glad when we’re done.
Happy Saturday Dan!

Such fun. You may not realize but you introduced me to acrostic. Here on WP is where I learned what that was. ❤
