Hickle de pickledy bag

Trying to work on this before sleep 💤 Inspired by barley girl poem re coffee mugs

Crumpled up post it notes

I found them tonight

Stuffed in my glasses case

Notes and home made rhymes

I wrote in past haste

Jotted some other forgotten day

I see a coffee stain on one Spilt at work

Yes (My other home. )

Probably find more notes Tomorrow as I clean out my bag

Menus and shopping dockets

And fresh chewed Apple core

Chewing gum wrapper

with minty smells I adore

favourite cafes cardds with stamps

That I order de caff skim no sugar

If you please

My purse in there somewhere

Ever empty indeed

What else can I find

? A fork from a tuna salad Only ate yesterday

Just needs a wipe with quick spray

And it’s good to go

My bag yes it’s heavy indeed

No Not with money or gold

But with  life in itself

It’s me in a nutshell

My disorganised self

A mirror that cracks

A tote of oneself

THIS IS AWESOME! I love it! Your uninhibited details make this feel very honest & fun. I'm honored that my coffee cup poem brought this out of you . . . to me that back-and-forth inspiration on this website is what has helped me be much more productive than I've ever been with my writing. I love this (I've done the very same thing myself many times):
"A fork from a tuna salad Only ate yesterday

It takes bravery to reveal our true selves, but it ends up being the best writing! LOVE THIS! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
