Poetry Monday :: Cabinet & World Photograpy Week

For once I was not sure of the meaning of today's word: Cabinet, The dictionary tells me that it is either

a cupboard with shelves or drawers for storing or displaying articles or the committee of senior ministers responsible for controlling government policy.  I go with the first meaning, as politics is so not me.

Here in my cupboard are things on display
Driftwood and gemstones and eggs on a tray
Sea glass and marbles and crabs' claws and stones
Dice of all kinds, stamps, and feathers and bones.

Buttons and postcards and cups with a chip
Bracelets, mementoes and a tiny ship.
Candy bags even, and coins and a ring
A gold tessera from a graveyard in spring.

All is not costly and nothing for sale,
Many are worn and they all tell a tale,
Memories of places and people I've met
And from a tourney a winners' rosette.

Much of my life is encased in this show
but the best part is not mentioned above.
It's something that fits me as well as a glove:
My family that always surround me with love.

Next Monday we rhyme about: Market

Today is the first day in World Photography Week leading up to World Photography Day Monday 19th. I'll try and post a photo each day. As usual I'm not into SoMe and hashtags and "spreading the word" so I just make my own quiet Photography Week and Day here on my blog.

Today we celebrated one of our birthday season birthdays. One of the gifts was this d20-candle. I love it.
