Things That Seem Tall

(A List Poem) Top Shelves: in kitchen cabinets, linen closets, refrigerators, bookcases, and storage lockers. Hooks; on garage pegboards, porch ceilings, and in clothes closets. Tree limbs: for hanging; bird-feeders, tire swings, and wind chimes. The spot on the wall where pictures & paintings need to be hung. Grandchildren, or almost anyone, who wants a hug. If you’re like me-- top out at five-three— everything – simply everything seems too high up. .

Thank you, Ilene. Haven't touched base in a while. I trust you had a great Christmas, and are enjoying the new year. We are looking forward to a great year. Hope you have a great weekend.
