Listen to poem:

Tiny Tin In Sock Drawer

letters lie crumpled
when will you read them again?
open tiny tin locket

memories hidden
way back in chest of drawers
warm? among the socks and scarves

The impetus of memories, John, is that half of the fun is getting there, -- the spice of life. My compliments on your winning placement my friend, Aloha!
