Keepsakes
I'm not a hoarder, don't like clutter,
yet with any virtue,
there seems an occasional hidden vice...
or bending of the rules;
for how can I throw away photos
with cream puff cheeks and button noses,
tiny jean jackets and petite ruffled dresses,
bears with names: Grandpa, Button, and Pow,
VHS tapes of rehearsals, vacations,
hours of family fun...
artistic masterpieces rendered in crayon?
How many I Luv u, Mom's is one allowed?

I invite you to listen to me read this poem:
This is linked with "Imaginary Garden with Real Toads - A list with a twist - Imagined by Isadora Gurye"
also linked with NaPoMoWri 2018 (30 poems in 30 days)
Back in the day a musical like this would have contributed to my pile of VHS tapes and probably over 300 photos printed out! Thank goodness for You Tube and Digital!
This was my Emma's senior year's high school performance (last weekend) and she was Cinderella and my freshman daughter, Elise (blond) was a step-sister.
In my own little corner
Don't forget the Prince!
