Things I Saved

Prompt: These are the things I saved.


Bits and projects,

stones and shells,

a stack of tee shirts,

I won't ever wear again,


a million papers,

my best artwork,

middle school essays,

my high school portfolio,


“important stuff”

that means nothing to me

- tax forms and pay stubs

from old jobs


snips of writing,

quotes from random places

- most I've forgotten why I saved,

but still make me smile,


relics of childhood,

and teenage years,

stuff in itself unimportant,

yet glued to precious memories.
