The Nub : : : :
August 22, 2009
Vanilla-cream, pebbles & tea;
MY escapades, do you not see?
The very little things, I'd like to be;
Alas ! Actions in constant mutiny.
Veiled thoughts & stars anew;
I think are quite far from few.
Wrinkled sand & the morning dew;
You say, are better off if further viewed.
Rustic trams and tattered leather;
Though traditional, yet are better.
Forgotten, ignored the old letter;
Wind-up clocks & the monsoon weather.
The new breeze, I wish to feel;
Invites with it an amusing life deal.
But, condemns me, it's past to seal;
As for the consolation, time will heal.

This is a cute poem. It's kind of hard to follow along with, though. I got completely lost in the second stanza. It might be better if you took that one out altogether. I like the "beauty in little things" theme.

I'll be sure to work on things for the better, next time.
