Verse Love: April 7: Much Mulch

Over at Verse Love today, our host, Luke Bensing asked us to pick an image and use alliteration in your first line and your last line. That’s it. Yet, my head is messy as a pile bark mulch that I sliced about a few minutes ago. 

Mostly, it's a multitude of sources for mulch
Multiplied many times so it will matter,
A bargain at Lowes, perhaps with budget
Busting delivery charges?
Or a pallet from Amazon that only a 
Fork-lift could raise?
Or a massive mountain dumped 
In plain sight, mocking me day and night?

It's probably not an intense need for mulch
Mocking my attempt to read, write or sleep.
Mulch prices misplace the mighty scary
Meaning of that threat that maybe,
Many more lives are in jeopardy,
Minutes after Jeopardy.
