Cornucopia

We live a lush life Options each and every turn Taken for granted Satisfaction a foreign concept Forever wanting more Striving to accumulate Cornucopia everywhere Stuff we can’t take with us Stuff preoccupies our minds Ends up cluttering our hearts Stuff that ends up owning us Surprised to one day realize How we don’t need all that stuff Less is so much more AP: 2nd place 2020, Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on October 24, 2017 for contest CORNUCOPIA USING A COMBO OF 3 POETRY FORMS, sponsored by KIM RODRIGUES - RANKED 2ND

Thanks, Paul. I think in general poets are pretty good at appreciating the non material treasures of life.
