Clear Out (Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge)

~ JezzieG

Inspired by and written for Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – thank you GC and Sue

Form: Sephallian Reverse Sonnet

Overloaded shelves filled with books
On the floor stacks and piles of more
It’s time to sort this all out, right?
A box for keeping, and black bags for trash
All the junk food style fiction has got to go
Flicking through pages is making it slow
But this is books one can’t be rash
And Audible sees me through the night
Maybe I can trash another four
To B&Q for wood and hooks
More shelves – I should have thought of that –
More overloaded shelves of my bookish tat
Even the cat is giving me strange looks

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
