Potty

My old brown teapot has a broken spout It can no longer pour things out. It makes me sad to say This poor teapot's had its day I took it to the rubbish bin To put this useless teapot in For some reason, I don't know I could not let this old thing go This article had served me well Many a tale this pot could tell Like a true and loyal friend It had served me well until its end Now it has a broken spout I feel a need to throw it out As I held the pot over the bin And was a bout to drop it in When something inside me said no You are not ready to let it go Holding my old teapot close to me We went inside and made some tea

I can relate to this is so many instances; I have a large man-sized green grinch's head, even though I threw the grinch out eight years ago when I could not find his head.

Holding my old teapot close to me.. We went inside and made some tea..So sweet.. In an era of use and throw, you are shining like golden glow..

Its hard to give up things that served us so well, perhaps put it in your garden and use it as a vase for flowers . Just a suggestion, Lovely write dear poetess. Thanks for sharing
