Nature’s Cycle:

In compost's heap, a cycle spins,
Where death ends and life begins.
With scraps and waste, a garden feeds,
A cycle of the earth's own needs.
From rot and ruin, life does spring,
Compost turns to life's great ring.

Earth’s Renewal:

Earth's renewal in compost's form,
From waste to life, it keeps us warm.
With every leaf and every peel,
The compost's touch, a gentle heal.
In nature's way, it shows us how,
To turn the old to new somehow.

Soil’s Rebirth:

In soil's rebirth, the compost blends,
A process that the earth defends.
With every scrap, a chance to grow,
In compost's touch, new life does flow.
A circle of the earth's embrace,
A testament to nature's grace.

Rotten Surprise:

The compost heap was full of life,
With worms and bugs and veggie strife.
"Who left this here?" the gardener said,
As a pumpkin rolled and hit his head.
The veggies laughed and sang with cheer,
"We're compost now, no need to fear!"

Stinky Business:

The compost pile was ripe and rich,
But had a smell that made folks twitch.
The neighbors wrinkled up their noses,
"That heap's a field of fragrant roses!"
The gardener laughed and said with glee,
"It's just compost, can't you see?"

Earth’s Renewal:

In the piles where life decays,
Compost, nature's ways.
A touch so rich, a heart so pure,
Compost, nature's allure.
From waste to soil, a journey grand,
Compost, life's hand.
A symbol of renewal, a sign of grace,
Compost, life's embrace.
In its presence, growth is found,
Compost, all around.
Earth's renewal, pure and bright,
Compost, in the light.
In its blend, life's cycles renew,
Compost, nature's view.
With each layer, nutrients rise,
Compost, earth's ties.
