Cona Adams Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

Note:  Everyone loves freebies, whether they come by way of winning a contest, receiving a gift from a friend, or a valuable coupon in the mail, we all enjoy getting something without having to shell out for it. The following poem and the previous one (Picked Up Potatoes) are true stories, one about my brother and the other a personal experience of my own.

 

Picked Up Towels

(The poetry form is a toss-up, between Narrative and Free Verse)

Picked-up Towels

He had left his wife
filed for divorce
starting over 
with nothing

We gave him
a pan here
a blanket there

He did his part
by picking up towels
left lying beside the road

One time too many
he stopped

It wasn't a towel
only a used Pamper
