Long Clutter up Poems

gently
before me

on a desk, or a table
rests the means to enable
me to craft a new fable
to run and leap like the sable
a squirrel scampering upon a gable

to perch on high

Thirty-one packs of chewing gum,
Clutter up my drawer,
And thirty-one times thereafter,
I forgot thirty-one times more,
And bought thirty-one times yet again
Seems somehow I found
Thirty-one more times,
I had thirty-one more such a yen... 

This went on for...

I awoke this morning, to a bed so cold and lonely
And despite the warning, I'd lost my one and only

To listen to his footsteps walking through her memory.

She hears him as he climbs the steps that lead up to his room.

But why mope around in a dark blue funk?  
Don’t let life’s trouble
