a community poem

from Melinda

it started small
and now it’s big
the community news
that we all dig

every day we get some news
reduce recycle or re-use
swap your clothes
share your books
exchange your home-grown
with other cooks

help a puppy find his way
it’ll help a family start their day
feeling really pretty good
about the people in their ‘hood

find a housemate
buy some bread
don’t throw that keyboard
give it away instead

got a cause that needs traction?
others can help take some action
help a family that’s in need
the news will keep you up to speed

you can expect the unexpected
newlands news keeps us connected!
