Three small keys in my care In an attic furniture , toys, puzzles, stuffed animals a treasure hunt to find where the keys fit Victorian doll house door perfect fit On a toy bed laid a lace handkerchief In an open trunk laid a wooden box small keyhole opening , a diary lies nestled in its embrace treasured time A lace handkerchief for the tears shed when reading the life pages of one’s soul. 7/7/2016

Absolutely beautiful. I had the image of one sitting in an attic going over old things left behind by one's parents. Wonderful. A seven from me. God Bless, JB

You are conquering this form. This is intriguing and somehow, to me, a feminine write, if that makes sense. I say that because it awoke all my little girl intrigue until the last lines brought me back to reality. A joy to read, Eve ... CayCay

the final sentence really summed it up so well, Eve. Very clever. You can do two contests with this maybe? I need to study this form again!!
