Heylo!
“Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem about a dull thing that you own, and why (and how) you love it”
said the sage of NaPoWriMo.
The first two lines popped into my head immediately, and I just riffed from there…
I attach sentimental meaning
To many a ‘dull’ thing
I employ imagination
And imbue them with some zing.
That bent knitting needle worked hard, so
I give my reverence;
The boys’ sippy cups hold water now
For painting forays hence.
Those wall-holes from the old stairgate
Look just like a jaunty face.
That stopped clock reminds me of the years
When we shared hubby’s first place.
This laundry bin is so ancient,
But its shape just pleases me.
I should chuck these comfy trousers,
Yet they saw me through two pregnancies!
So I ponder the definition
Gather up arguments
And remain a happy hoarder
Shining my ‘dull’ implements…
My prosody is a little off in places, but I’m not stressing about that too much at this time of night 😛
What dull things do you love in your house? (No being nasty about your family, now…!)
See you tomorrow! 🙂
