It sits there, on the mantle
The penny kitten.
My ma, bought it on Wednesday
At the market, in town.
The haggler, he was useless
Only gave it us for a penny
A little kitten, ginger china
That's all ma had.
All her money
Just a penny
Ma loves it
Her penny kitten.
On the mantle, it sits
Pride of place, says my ma.
I think there's something more about it
Its eyes, glass green, they stare
They stare

#household. One day I'd like a fireplace. To place the only memento I've got. A beautiful Victorian fireplace. Upon it I would sit a clock. A clock given to my grandfather.
#Household In a rusty vintage blue wooden frame, there it stood a distant life I thought I would always remember. So young, So innocent, So free, So much simpler, And so different from this moment.
#household A jewellery box Without any locks Is not the place To keep your socks. Nor is it a place To keep a fox Or your grandfather clocks Or any amount Of igneous rocks.
#household. Hidden away. Each and every day. This jewelry box holds. Precious memories untold. It was made by my father. 13 years ago, maybe much longer. He made it for me. A red box with gold.
#household. It seems my favourite poster. Cannot be bought in stores. Won't find it on a wall. Or covering holes in doors. Not readily available. Nor hidden in plain sight. Contains many images.
Our past watches on as we shout and we scream Two lovebirds smile as we ruin the dream A silent echo of happy times, a laugh caught in the moment A lonely heartbroken sob, pleads an end to this...
#household. All that I have. A photograph. It's pretty much. An epitaph. A hymn for love. For you and me. And a love. That cannot be. A timeless shot. Your pretty face. Beautiful. Filled with grace.
#household A photograph is more than just, A gift to bring or send. And more than just the likeness of, A relative or friend. It is a kindly greeting and A memory to hold.
