One of the unfortunate things about me is that as an artist, author, craftsman and lover of life, I have tended to be attracted to things on the side of the road people have thrown away. Of course being poor necessitated that also. Anyway, my garage has gotten so cluttered it is usless as a garage, thus prompting this poem. this poem is one of 30 from my book Acorns of Love and Wisdom that are posted by on my page here at Author's Den. Most are love poems
THE TREASURE CHEST What confusion it is To be a collector In a living world Where all things Appear unique and desirable Perhaps I should declare The world My treasure chest And leave things be Until I take a walk And examine my collection

Seems there's much more to this one than meets the eye. Thanks for the momentary glance inward.

I too wrote a poem like this, but I have not posted it here on the Den. I think that man's beginnings have contributed to making him into a packrat. Anyway, point well taken.
