Dusty Box of Memories Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Constance La France  Written 2/2/2025

“Within a room, all wrapped in a comforter of cobwebs and dust, a vacuum full of memories.” Quote by _Poet Her grandmother's attic she walks into, Full of cobwebs, dust, and boxes in her view. Excited of the treasures that have been stored. Her imagination wanders as she went toward. Thrilling look, to unexpected findings. Valuables amid dusty boxes bindings. Forgotten belongings, waiting to be discovered. Nostalgic memories what laid inside to be recovered. She sits in front of a cardboard box with layers of dust. The word, pictures, written on the side, open she must. A photo of an old 1939 coupe, grandma In grandpas embrace, looking at each other in awe. Another of gramps holding my dad's small hands As he takes his first steps, watching or his fans. A spirit of memories that have been lost for years. Old family photos and love letters brought tears.
