My Desk: A Poem

My Desk

My desk is filled with lots of things

like scissors, glue, and spools of string,

paper scraps and pens and cups,

matches, pet rocks, pick-me-ups,

origami cranes and frogs,

notes for yet unwritten blogs,

CDs, pins, a cardboard box,

a telephone, some Lego blocks,

post-it notes and paper clips,

headphones, camera, power strips,

candle holders, pictures, tape,

drips of paint, some dings and scrapes,

and room to spare for still more stuff

in case this mess is not enough.
