short forms 28th July 2017

dad's house
full of his junk
that "might come in handy"
old lamps to VHS players.
Hoarder

brief patch of blue
brightens the fading lavender
bees take advantage

piece of jewellery
costs several hundred
sold for fifty quid
Better than nothing
a fortnight's training

more items
sent to charity shop
week by week

bookshelves deplete
as I admit to myself
I'll never read *x* again

why do I hoard so?
