My Pack Rat Eye Tis

accumulation
choking the room bitterly
an embarrassment
carefully tromping through it
side-stepping junk gingerly

My pack rack eye-tis
surrounds me untidily
disturbing eyesore
jumping over largest pile
not inviting company

M. L. Kiser Date: 12/14/2018 5:44:00 AM I like the, "pack rack eye-tis" much better than the word, "clutter". One of my Uncles was considered a pack rat because of the stuff he drug home and recycled but, he would take things apart and reuse them; he built his own bicycle once when his family couldn't afford one. What some folds call pack rats, the pack rats themselves, may be artists, inventors, recyclers; some people repair things and give it to those who have need of it. In short, pack rats, are necessary.

All I have to do is turn to watch them waving at you.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/13/2018 7:43:00 PM My husband thinks every little pile of my clutter is horrible. So I am always moving stuff around to stash it out of sight. I really need my Xmas break to reorganize the house again and make it more tidy. Wish you luck. Clutter can make one feel so overwhelmed.

I must find a way, or it will swallow me! Wonderful write ...

I highly recommend it if you can watch it without getting physically sick, my friend.
