Notes About The Poem

                                     

Three Little Keys To An Unopened Diary

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.

Judy Ball July 10, 2016 at 9:33 AM 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

CayCay Godwin July 9, 2016 at 9:33 AM 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
