somebody's dungeon

It is the careful aesthetic placement
of items of natural space and time
that fill my rhyme. The very
small treasures that make up
my space.

Upon desk that I am proud to say
I got for a deal at dollar general
are the trinkets, no, cherished
bit's of life that I look upon
each day.

Teddy bears of every hue, the little
girl just coming through, leaning here
and there against this and that,
pictures, candles, pens and scraps
of trivial.

Nothing important to any but me
this sad and silly managerie of life
in middle age of time. But still I must
again proclaim, all apart of who
I am.

I thought this was a wonderful piece.  The first stanza was my especial favorite, and I found the use of enjambment to be very effective throughout it.  It was an interesting choice of subject matter that you portrayed very well.

Is it while you are sitting, at this interesting and eclectic desk, that your brilliant poetry is created?

Thanx for another peek into your world!

(smiles) Oh my gosh, I just love this, swee friend, I believes ones own surroundings also make up an inspiring poetic atmosphere and I too love teddy bears so much as it reminds me of love and innocence! (kiss onn cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
