Blue Dipsty Dumpster Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning

Blue Dipsty Dumpster

Rating: 5.0


One of the many things
Which brings me sadness
In my day to day

Estate Sales

Usually a widow
Who has outlived her husband
Gone - so many years

Going through different rooms
Where treasures are found,
All tagged and priced.

The Blue Dipsty Dumpster

Next to the house,
Where Cherished Treasures
Are thrown away.

Blue Dipsty Dumpster

I just reviewed a poem by my good friend Michael Walker titled - The House On The Corner - It reminds me that once we leave, our treasures are soon cast aside, empty house, empty rooms.

So sad. What we consider treasures may just be trash to those who follow. This poem really makes you think. Thanks for posting.
