Premium Member Trunk
It stood there, the trunk oddly on its end; dust lay testament to its untouched years of keeping the past. The lid, now a door, which, should it open, would spill out secrets. No need to dig deep, rummage, discover; stuff would come tumbling; the unstoppable detritus of life, no longer hidden....

In Memoriam of a Broken Family
Remembered the 1940s, the season of the holocaust. Six million irons, disjointed from their ores Were forged in bottomless pits of anvils. The swarming bees in a ceremonious buzzing Were uncoupled from their hives through Reichsbahn. However, a tensed, stale wind of discord swivel On the creeks of Dachau, Auschwitz, Treblinka And other shores of darkness. Never shall the bloody sky efface again The...

Premium Member Junk
The old lady down the street has passed and left no one they could call around; except her old cat she called Miss Sass It will take looking before she's found. Her friend decided on a yard sale. Mostly junk will be all we will find: a worn garden spade and battered pail remnants of flower beds left behind. A crocheted doily on...

Where, Oh Where Has My Little Mind Gone
I think I lost it... Has anyone seen my mind? Must of wandered off... I'll check lost and found The last time I lost my mind It played hide and seek I last found my mind Hold up in an old Junk Trunk Sorting memories... A box of clutter Relics that remain after We've faded away......

Packing Up Her Trunk
In Argentina, Mara Lived a sad and lonely life, Crowded with unfriendly roommates, Twenty years of constant strife. She’s an elephant from Asia Who was stuck inside a zoo But the powers-that-be decided There was something they could do. So they took her on a road trip, Days and many miles away, To a sanctuary in Brazil Where she could safely stay. Now she’s found a...

Premium Member A Trunk In the Attic
At age ten, I found a trunk in the attic full of leather-bound books and tied up comics. Luckily they weren't dusty; I'm asthmatic, dad scored them cheap base on street economics but my recall’s somewhat melodramatic. But for years, leery of Russian atomics I would hide in the attic; my special place, and read a book, from Shakespeare to outer space. (Rispetto) Feb....
