Cona Adams Poet Light Verse

Things That Seem Tall

(A List Poem)

Top Shelves:
     in kitchen cabinets,
     linen closets,
     refrigerators,
     bookcases,
     and storage lockers.

Hooks;
     on garage pegboards,
     porch ceilings, 
     and in clothes closets.

Tree limbs:
     for hanging;
          bird-feeders,
          tire swings,
          and wind chimes.

The spot on the wall
     where pictures & paintings
          need to be hung.

Grandchildren,
     or almost anyone,
          who wants a hug.

If you’re like me--
top out at five-three—
everything – simply everything
seems too high up.

Cona Adams January 16, 2015 at 7:06 PM Thank you, Ilene. Haven't touched base in a while. I trust you had a great Christmas, and are enjoying the new year. We are looking forward to a great year. Hope you have a great weekend.
