![]() THINGSA Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt ShanksSome
we use Some
we waste Some
we’ve left Forgotten
in haste Lost
forever Found
by another Used
again Saved
by a mother Thrown
in a bag Out
with the trash Loaned
to a friend Sold
for the cash Kept
in a box Thrown
on the floor Used
them all up Then
bought some more Manufactured Sold
in bulk Worn
on a hat Took
for a walk Kicked
to the curb Displayed
in a case Kept
on a leash Rubbed
in your face Torn
into pieces Saved
and collected Sat
and waited for Come
unexpected Came
to grips with Ate
for lunch Painted
a color Tied
in a bunch Cooled
with water Burnt
with fire Been
below you Lifted
up higher Put
together Taken
apart Felt
with your body Felt
with your heart © 2011 Melanie Jane Boicourt ShanksReviews
