Wash Day Poem by Joe Howell

Wash Day

Rating: 5.0


three shiney pennies,
a nickle and a dime
found in a pant's pocket

a hidden treasure to a lad
who had no home for so long
a kings fortune, his to keep

wednesday was wash day, over
an outside fireplace, a washpot
and the washboard, to scrubb

as a child i got to check all
the pockets, and make claim
to riches, remembered later, in age
