Inside myself
Tiny puzzle pieces
Interlocking
Disassembled
In their box
Inside myself
A looking glass
Mirror images
Razor sharp and cutting
Distorted
Inside myself
A box of stars
I’m afraid to open
Just wishes
On days gone by
Inside myself
Odds and ends
Little parts
To keep and hold
Me together
My own guess is that “Little Boxes” being posted alongside “Moon Shine” and “Monchrome Morning” appears,to the casual reader such as myself,to possibly capture a broader mood in which these three poems were conceived.They certainly convey the sense of being connected temperamentally. And for the Poet,consciously or not,and certainly for the Reader that’s always a “bonus”.
Louis, Thank you kindly. You can read me , as the saying goes, “Like a book” and you’re comment is so appreciated, Suzanne

Congrats Suzanne on being featured! You are awesome and so is your work! You deserve all the praise and admiration that you receive! You go girl!!
I find in this poem a fine expression,nay outpourings,of random feelings that overtake all of us at one point or the other-but hardly do we put it down, ever so elegantly !
