Rocks, sand, plants and feathers,
Around the world they come together
All in one place for me to treasure.

Collecting all manner of things,
From battered old derbies to rings,
He still couldn’t find,
It stayed on his mind,
A three-legged scarecrow that sings.

As the Debt Collector Stood

upon my door
i looked across the road
Where days before
a kind woman
died of corona
and in the background
iPhone advertises
in my sighies
all monies dies

Wiggles struts casually her leash.
People react well to this four-legged creature.
Passersby can't help but smile.

Premium Member Chintzy In Quincy

A staid old art collector in Quincy
dotes on cats but with people is chintzy
He willed old shoes to his wife
and to his son a jackknife
His tabby got a Monet and Da Vinci

Leader and Bottom Feeder

Leader and Bottom Feeder

Trump is both President and our leader,
And he also has become a bottom feeder;
Garbage collector,
And of inspector;
We also understand he was a poor reader.

The Carafe

The carafe

Bought a bottle
Of red wine.
It looks at me
I look at it.
Furiously.
It is empty now
threw it in the bin.
Who wants to?
Look at an empty 
bottle
If you are not 
a collector of labels

The Collector

Take me there,

walk it upstairs,

do it anyways,
ignore the plains,

you've been there before-
within a walk or a gaze,

it's sin to return these ways,

so heed the fault,
build and then praise.

Premium Member Seahorse Mania Is Afoot

Sea horse mania is afoot
I see them in my sleep
Thanks to a collector daughter
They prance and neigh

Ridiculous I think
There is loud laughter
A splash from my water glass
Two land on my bedside table

Ham

i'm a book collector of the old,
ham radio books to me are gold,
the ancient ones with valves and such,
I make long wire aerials to keep in touch,
i'm vk4pr of  Queenslands fold...

Trash Collector

The corrosion of caring creeps up at last,
Rust all around your heart
As flakes of red-brown flutter, powdering down,
Filling the scavenger cart
Of ashes and dust from the past.
It rolls away, fickle and fast.

Premium Member My Lucky Penny Misprint

A one-time freelance stamp collector,
Tiny flaw, red-inked inferred branch,
One cent stamp, collectors gem,
Misprint worth six thousand,
Dealers called it rare,
Cash in my hand,
Lucky strike,
Good find,
Mine.

The Collector

arrives unnoticed, 
waiting … 
for the exact moment.
It arrives,
no matter
the situation,
the collector,
is successful.
Always,
the prize,
your soul,
your debt is paid 
in full.

Premium Member I Could Never Be a Garbage Collector

The one job I could never have is garbage collector
I do not believe anything is garbage.
I would bring home every cereal box, every tin can, every glass bottle.
I would catch some weird disease and die.
If I was a garbage collector.

The Carafe

The carafe

Bought a bottle 
Of posh red wine
I look
It looks at me
I look 
It looks at me.
I get furious 
It is empty now
Threw it in the bin
Who wants to?
Look at an empty    
Bottle 
If you are not 
A collector of labels
