Honorable Mention

the tattered box

have a box of sadness that I keep upon a shelf
old and tattered from being opened too many times
inside are the fallen tears of my collected sadness
in that box dwells all my pain, sorrow, regret and grief
now, it is Christmastime and I need to open it again
     so, I can dwell with the memories for just awhile
