The Music Box

This month is National Poetry Writing Month (napowrimo) and although I'm not actually participating in the 30 poems in 30 days challenge, I thought it would be fun to at least write some poetry. So here is the first poem I've written this month.

The Music Box

Childhood treasures

Lost from adult consciousness

Enthrall the childish imagination

Somewhere deep inside.

Spinning 'round and 'round

To delicate tunes

She steals my heart away

With her smiling eyes.

The world seems bright and happy

Filled with hopes and dreams

Far beyond the little girl in ruffles

And her Irish figurine.
