Long Chest of drawers Poems

Days sunbathing and skinny dipping on the beach felt like a shiver

One day when the sun seemed hotter than hell,
at lunch, pre-teen Goldibear started to yell.

I found a tired old shack.
It was hidden, covered with weeds.
I found an opening in the back.

While on my hands and knees,
I saw it lying on the floor.
Was covered with dust...

  each one so very different

Some words for summer, some for winter

Once upon a time
There was a pretty girl,
She sold knockoffs of jewelry,
To keep herself in curls.

She squirrelled away some chains,
Let no one know she had them.

Here’s a question – when you buy
An item of new clothes,
How long until you wear it?
Not too long, I would suppose.

Sporting it next time you dress
Or does it go...

Looking through ol’ chest of drawers
When finding all ‘Forever Yours’
Rapid thoughts of all our plans,
Pounding heart and sweaty hands.

The letters bound with frazzled string,
Once in time meant everything
Now again on distant shores
Blink the ink- forever...

Households unhitch, hulls creaking -
the sound of storm-lashed rigging
as foundations founder.
Where we once believed roots gripped bedrock,
boards bob in the swell.

Bed-springs gape. A chest-of-drawers
turns inside out, the face-up exposure 
of our everyday innards.
