A plastic bottle is now drained <br />Beverage is no longer contained <br /> <br />Quenched is thirstiness on a hot day <br />Succumbing to dehydration is delayed <br /> <br />Usefulness is no longer maintained <br />With recycling… integrity is regained <br /> <br />Renewed…serving importance again <br />Life and purpose are sustained <br /> <br />7/20/09<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/continuance/
