Things around me fall apart
but only every now and then-
I always manage to pick up the pieces
and put them back together again.

Life is quite adventurous
on this, my Great Escape-
I push up my sleeves, put up my hair
so he can breathe upon my nape.

He bought for me a small lamp
to see by in the mid of night
just in case things fall apart
and I can't wait till daylight...

of course, it goes without saying
that one of these days I just might
let my hair down, spread my wings,
and suddenly take my flight.

Still, all in all, when said and done,
I'm much better at remodeling-
and I could make millions if what I am
would be suited for bottling.

Anyhow, once, I tried to fly
but simply crashed and broke my wings
and I don't care to fix them yet-
I use my glue on other things.

this is the storage barn that my husband and I are building in the front yard

I wish I had a barn. I am jealous.

I liked this poem. The ending is very clever.

Well done.

Storage barn, Dixie? Why do I look at the pic and see "Doghouse"? hmmm?

Another neat poem. Thanks for writing it.

Enjoyable. Flow and feel were well crafted, and I liked the message. Peace.

glad to see some folks somewhere are (literally and figuratively) doing something 'constructive' !

thanks guys

ya'll are treasures

we are actually building this for mom and pops since they are quite the hoarders and can't seem to get rid of anything. They have 2 houses and a tractor shed full of stuff that needs a new home. So we are just making one.

Yo Passing shadows,

You've got yourselves a nice big storage barn there.
