Notes About The Poem

Button

Found one

                shiny, gold, beautiful

                               picked it up

                                     held closely 
Twas going to contain it

                   in a jar

                         Knowing that button would go far

                                               dropped it, sad to say

                                                           it stood up on its wheel side


                                                                            there it rolls, miles away

It seems that the button had other plans that day, eh? R. Ohl Aweigh

oh, a sojourning button! I love buttons; been fascinated with them since childhood when I learned to sew and finding the perfect buttons for whatever I was creating. You sparked delightful memories, thank you, yellow rose
