A Treasure..

Found my first poem from 8 years ago.. :D

Little things, little ways;

bring colour to this

black and white haze.

Dusting, sorting through my room

knick knacks strewn across ungroomed;

Fishing through my old stuff

brought memories spurting from past.

A treasured watch, a cute chain,

little drawings and everything archane.

There, hidden among some sheets

I found my treasured first piece!

First attempt at poetry,

begun well before all this;

knew not of words big and pretty

or how to spin a mysterious story.

But as I held my amateur read;

flooding emotions made me freeze!

Filled me with joy and hope anew,

Some cleaning could do this, who knew!!

Everything's pretty much said :D This happened two days ago. I thought I started writing four months ago ;)

Always fun to discover the things we wrote way back when. It amazes me the things I wrote when I was a kid. I was one sick twisted little bugger! This was a great, light, upbeat little number. Really brings a smile. It might even be a motivator to some people to clean more often...me on the other hand...am still way too lazy :D

Wow. I clean my room in a long while and now I'm motivator.. Hahaa. That amazing review made me smile :)

The littlest things can inspire… and even our earliest fledgling words set down can still hold tremendous power. Great poem perfectly capturing the joy of that.
