All of these things I found siting, half accidental, on the same surface. So as a little exercise I thought I would catch them so to speak and share:
A ring of skeleton keys and a red leather wallet embellished with gold, a string of pearls cast over both.
A stack of three baskets, woven of grass, each a little bigger then a sparrows nest.
A type writer with a blank page, bold against the black metal, both covered in dust.
A letter opener shaped like a dagger with a point like a December wind.
A wooden heart pendent, its cord tangled with the chain of a Fatima medal.
A twenty dollar bill, neatly folded in quarters, beside a Dixie cup.
Five candles of various heights held in mismatched holders of brass and dull silver.
Questions for you:
What does each line make you think of?
What about all together or a few at a time?
What small things around you can you capture in one or two lines?
And just for fun; Can anyone guess where they all are?
