Pieces

(a list poem in rhyming couplets) Pieces of literature there’s so much of Pieces of artifacts seen that we love Pieces of good advice given each day Pieces of rubbish I just throw away Pieces of plates in shatters when dropped Pieces of pie with whipped cream sometimes topped Pieces of gadgets like gym equipment Pieces of things in an Amazon shipment Pieces of recalled conversations once said Pieces of paragraphs written or read Pieces of rocks people often have seen Pieces of grass, so fresh and green Pieces of knowledge – facts that we know Pieces of laundry in baskets we throw Pieces of Tupperware useful to us Pieces of chewed gum neath seats of a bus! Pieces of butter I spread on each bun Pieces of sand glitter under the sun A piece of my mind (that piece can’t be plural) Pieces of property – urban or rural Pieces of mail sent – so over-priced Pieces of onions chopped well or diced Pieces of clothing – and some come in pairs Pieces you hate in your food – such as hairs! Pieces of cake at weddings a hit Pieces of furniture on which we sit Pieces of candy we give to a child Pieces of puzzles that make me go wild Pieces of fruit such as apples or melons Pieces of weaponry used by some felons Pieces of hardware – such useful things Pieces we cut such as ropes, tape, or strings Pieces of cheese that make a great treat Pieces of meat that folks love to eat Pieces of jewelry sparkling on me Pieces of wood that come from a tree Pieces of bread, named also as slices Pieces of artwork - some at high prices Pieces of chicken – so tender the breast Pieces of pizza I love the best! Pieces of paper I write my poems on Pieces of sky that God paints at dawn. March 28, 2023 For Writing Challenge - 'P' Words - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France
