Lines of Imagery

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?  


(Come on, any thoughts at all?)
