Donald J Bennett Poet Free verse

Stuff

Why do we desire so much; stuff
Closets bursting with our; stuff
Drawers overflowing with our; stuff
So much stuff there is no room for all our; stuff
We can’t afford it but still we buy more; stuff
We bring in stuff, we thrown out; stuff
We even rent storage for our; stuff
And still we desire even more; stuff
Yes I am talking about all that; stuff
We just don’t need so damn much; stuff

Monterey Sirak December 21, 2013 at 7:56 AM A wonderful poem! Happiness isn't getting everything you want (all the stuff) it is being content with what you have. Thank you for your visits to my poetry.

Kelly Deschler December 6, 2013 at 3:20 PM So true! I have the very same problem! But, I think the real problem is having a credit card! I enjoyed reading this poem, Donald. It is very creative and unique! Great work!...Thank you for the wonderful comments on my latest poem. I appreciate it very much!

Scott Thirtyseven December 5, 2013 at 3:14 AM I loved the title, and even more I enjoyed the content. Then there is of course the "stuff" that inhabits our heads. One of my favourite sayings is that "I know stuff". Most of it as useless as the stuff that clogs up my shed.

Dan Kearley December 5, 2013 at 12:17 AM I sooooooo agree! Ha, ha.... I've been busy throwing out some of that "Stuff" Donald J Bennett December 5, 2013 at 12:31 AM We are in the process of downsizing and I wonder where all this stuff came from and even more so where to put it all. Several trips to the thrift stores and habitat for humanity helped some. Thanks for your remarks, I appreciate that.
