We have this scene once a week and fortunately, it cannot start before 7 a.m.! I enjoyed your description with the focus on sound by using all of the poetic devices. Cheers- Joan

Comment from Nottoway
Another masterpiece!
This poem brings together so many elements to paint a picture.
When one reads it, there is that visualization of the noise that the trash compactor makes and it goes through until the worker waves as he leaves the area.
Very well done. And in many ways it gives a bit of familiarity to those we often yet don't really know who they are.

I think many jobs are looked down on by the majority of people. I think there's no such thing as a lowly job. These people are unappreciated, but are no necessary. Thanks for a lovely review.
Comment from Dawn Munro
You sly fox -- you had me thinking this was going to be romantic = "I can't live without him..." LOL! No, you're right -- we ALL need the trash collector, that's for sure.

This is a very vivid description. Great sounds with grinding, crashing and smashing. You bring in your alliteration, too, with gray gloved. We need our garbage collectors, noisy though they may be. Excellent job of carrying out the assignment. judi

Thank you. Yes, they are very necessary people.
Comment from Bill Schott
This free verse, Weekly Rendezvous, uses that alliteration, assonance, and onomatopoeia to create this subtle scene on the streets where we live.

Great job, Yvonne. Isn't that the truth. I live rural now so we have to take care of our own garbage but I remember the sounds the garbage truck made when I lived in town. They do a very necessary service for us. This is well done! Nancy:)

Hello Yvonne. From the description, it looks like you managed to include all those things you were focusing on from the class. What struck me was the ode to the garbage man. :)))

Well, it really wasn't an ode. Just a salute to people who are looked down on by many, but who have an important job. There is no such thing as an unimportant job.

Hello Yvonne. I'm not looking down on garbage man. I believe as the Bible says that all honest work is honorable.

Oh, I know you weren't! But a lot of people do. 8-)
Comment from Sally Law
So, you can't live without him? Hummm. You know I love a good romance. It's funny what we think we can and can't live without. My list has become shorter. A wonderful poem for the challenge, Yvonne.
Sending you my best today as always,

Just think about living without the men who remove you garbage and trash! It would be catastrophic. Thanks for a delightful review. Romance? I doubt it. lol
Comment from Pantygynt
I would like to add that I asked that the poem should be about a person rather than a place or thing. I liked this a great deal, and thought it most unusual. Very few garbage disposal operatives get written about in poetry. Lonnie Donegan had a go with 'My Old Man's a Dustman' and of course, there was Alfred Dolittle in Lerner and Loewe's 'My Fair Lady'. I can't think of any others though.

Wow! I'm in good company. As I said before, it's a necessary job but so many people look down on them. Shame on them. I'm so happy you like this!
