Shoeboxes

Here is another poem I wrote from a topic provided by my sister. The topic is obvious by the title. 

Shoeboxes
By Melody Beerbower, 3-18-14

Bits of strings and scraps of news
Pictures and poems
And dried-out glue
Pencils and pens
And nails and screws
Letters and cards
And fake tattoos
Pom-poms and play-dough
And stale cashews 
Pennies and postcards
And bottled shampoos
Books and maps
And mysterious clues 
Patterns and plans
And stuffed kangaroos
Posters and papers
And plaster canoes 
Check stubs and bills 
And toothbrushes unused
Shoeboxes aren't always 
Filled with shoes.
