Collages Are Poems

Collages are Poems

In paper & paste,

Created in flurries

Of tea-time & space.

Remnants of this;

Fragments of that.

Segments of photos;

Slivers of hats.

Newspaper clippings,

String & old beads.

Tickets & thickets,

Sunflower seeds.

Chewing gum wrappers;

Cereal tops.

Christmas tree tinsel;

Strands from a mop.

Treasures & trashes;

Feathers & bones.

Buttons & ribbons,

Once left alone.

Special mementos,

Torn from the past.

Needles & noodles,

Riddles & rafts.

Put a piece here,

Glue a scrap there.

Adding some sparkles,

Snippets of hair.

What will we do

When everything’s done?

We’ll start anew — 

Having more fun.
