Scaffold View

Across the street, on scaffold rigs,
Construction workers hover
And if they’d glance my way, this is
What they just might discover:

A bedroom filled with books and pictures
All in frames of black,
A quilted bed and clutter
I’ve been meaning to attack.

And then, of course, upon a chair,
The other sight they’d see,
With pad and pencil, jotting words,
A rhyming poet – me!

You write by hand, in this age!? Given the amount of poems I write my fingers who have severe cramps! Thanks for the snapshot into your bedroom. / M

A lovely view they'd have Ilene.
