Idiom - Small Listening Devices

small listening devices

there are squillions
                                                                             washed up on shore

                                       every day

but

                                       you ask me about

                                                                             this little shell
                                                                             on my shelf


                                                                             too often we ignore

                                       such trivial things

this one
i noticed

Jesse Day August 3, 2016 at 8:35 AM I found your work well written, artistic and interesting. The idiom is creative and fit the theme of the poem very well. The contest was highly competitive which left out about 10 poems which were worthy of placement – including this one. Thanks for entering the contest and I will check out some more of your creative work! Michael Dom August 3, 2016 at 9:03 AM Thanks, Jesse, for your contest and consideration of this poem.
