Decrudding As I stand in awe at the gaping maw of the stuff that I hold dear Does it breed at night or in broad daylight to accumulate so near Must I walk a line past these clumps supine as I move from room to room Is it in my soul to be sane and whole lest I keep my crud ‘til doom? I have college books in some hidden nooks that’ll wave quite cheerily And my magazines that have claimed their scenes and I read them beerily. For guitar I’ve got, so I play real hot, video and tape and book And for fiddle too, if it pleases you, and there’s some to help me cook. Now I’m trying ways, why I’m spending days so I minimize my hoard If I toss it all, (and my bowling ball), I’m afraid that I’ll be bored. Not my lessons on golf and “Why you should Rolf” and “How best to bait those slugs” I can’t bear the thought of my life with naught of my loom for weaving rugs. But my old text books have now left their nooks. Oh I think it’s time to sup But I’ve filled one box with some sample rocks, for I’m giving sculpture up You are laughing, friend for you see no end to the fix that I am in But you know inside that you can not hide, you’re the same with this old sin.

 me! me! me! If you're going to clean that clutter then please let me hear nary a mutter for I have boxes stacked, galore! it's called "remodeling"...a chore! We went from room to room to room clicking thoughts to rid the gloom, a bit of spruce up here and there, now we're broke, our walls are bare... awaiting painters, electricians, other men who can come to put us together again! |

Oh my gosh, I could have and should have written this. I was so taken in my the title and not the least bit disappointed. I have 4 floors filled to the brim and there isn't one nook or crevice that isn't running over. Mind you, my husband is the exact opposite so you can imagine the wars that have been going on for 34 years. We are talking of downsizing now that our kids are on their own. But, what oh what shall I ever do with all my important 'stuff' and treasures? Great, fantastic, creative write. BRAVO! Hugs, Marti Most of us go to our grave |

 (smiles) That's part of my place, then I have incense, lava lamps, Shakira and Counting Crows posters, dream catchers, license plates, stars, and the sunlight coming through with it! (big hugggsssssss) I love this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ken, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

For Angel and Sunshine and "E" of course too, And Connel and lazerlu clapping with you, I hold that these tenets of writing are true. That all who enscribe here are friends I'll not rue. Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

For "Passing" and Vicky, if I may be picky I offer this humble verse. Your words of fine praise do help me to raise my hopes that I'm not getting worse!
