Accessorize My Desk

when I'm bored at my desk, I write about the objects on it staring me down

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Red, Yellow, Blue - Gelantinous, tacky glue

Square, blocky, cube - I write my memories on you

 

Gray, black hue - Streaks on paper of red, black, and blue residue

Oblong, with a tip to protrude - On the end I like to chew

 

Silver, black, blue - Sharp metal fastners you do include

Long, flat, ergonimically groomed - Attaching papers from their scattering doom

 

White and only white hue - Viscous liquid in a tube

Round bottle and cap to screw - Correcting mistakes done by red, black, blue

I think this was a very fun little poem. I thoroughly enjoyed the repetition though perhaps you could do with cutting out, "on the page it tattooed" in the final line. It sounds much better without it.

hmmm didn't consider, but after reading it I would have to agree, I prefer it without that ending. Thanks
