And say once more
A poem’s monetary worth is nil.

It’s heart-wrung cost
Is always lost
Inside the cash-drawer of the till.

Premium Member Missing You

Missing you as I

touch small things you left behind

when I find in your drawer

my last gift to you -

the watch you had vowed to wear

while you were away from me.

just me and my hired hand,
a lonely, used-up kitchen scrubber,
and an intrepid band of rubber.

I was an only child
I had it ALL….
THEN…
The new addition showed up
My room was divided
my drawer space now minus two
because “they” chose to multiply.
