Eclectic Collect It

collections show facets to me
assorted pieces hail history
recollections kept deep inside
where irrational follies hide

motley montages, memories
my collections, things that please
miscellaneous, sorts of stuff
put on shelves to gather dust

various items mingle mixed up
me, I drink from a colorful cup
assortments, sterling junk
filling my titanic trunk

sundry items I stow away
reminisce a bygone day
distinct diverse similarly same
trophies of an ill-played game

complimentary, thank the house
many swiped by an itinerant louse
gratis free without charge
relics befitting an Egyptian barge

diverse predictable mixes
homogenized random pickup sticks
similar in dissimilar ways
homage only an owner pays

collected eclectic on different days
rewards for a divergent gaze
beauty beheld in many possessions
mirrored reflections, oblique obsessions
