A Mysterious Jar

Submitted by Raine on Sun, 05/15/2011 - 10:15

 Clumsy and large on a dusty shelf

Clouded with age and cobwebs

She slumps on the narrow wooden shelf

High above eye level view

 

She collects spiders and dirt

One mouse tiptoes past, pausing a moment

To sniff the slumbering jar

Wandering away with lost interest

 

Dust collects on dust

Hiding her faded label

And she sits and slumbers

Alone in the attic

Oooh! Interesting! I llike how you explained the Jar in this very short but very discretiptive poem! I like that about this poem, its short, but you understand, and it leaves you thinking "Wow"!

Very awesome!

I like how you refer to the jar as she.
