Poetry Monday :: Basket ~ On a Tuesday

Today's theme for Poetry Monday is Basket.

Poetry Monday is a challenge, normally hosted by Diane at On the Border. But from Monday,
January 8, 2024, Messymimi and I have conspired to keep the chair warm for her, as she's taking a break due to health issues. We will each set the topics for one month, I began with January, Mimi is suppying for February, and so on until Diane returns.

This is some kind of rhyming, not-quite-haiku string.



     My basket.
On my way to town.
Basket filled with empty bottles
Ditch deposit.

Going home again.
Basket filled with things for living
and for giving

Going to the woods.
Basket filled with bread and candy
Books all handy.

Going home again
Baskets filled with pretty toadstools
Dyers' tools.

  1. I like this, it has a lovely rhythm. Your basket does so much.

  2. That's a nice basket poem. I used to love baskets, but never carried one, not a woven one anyway. I do have plastic laundry basket and a tiny plastic one for the pegs.

    1. I still love baskets, and I have a wonderful, colourful one - maybe an antidote to Sunday's Graphite black.
      Laundry baskets are , I think, ubiquitous, but our pegs are in a big pouch to be carried around the neck - we have lots and lots of pegs.
