One Family's Junk is Our Family's Treasure

On Sunday

at curbside

for Monday

garbage

pick-up

a child's school desk

found new life

in our garden

The desk will keep

our chest-of-drawers

found at curbside

last year

or was it the year before

from which we grow

out of the bottom draw

peas

good company

And what about 

the found wheelbarrel

I painted

pink

ah so much depends

upon a pink wheelbarrel

in the garden

with old

croquet set

found at curbside

soon to find a home

in my garden

of flowers 

and vegetables

and the mirror

we bought

five dollars

last week

soon life

of flowers

will fall

from it

a new top

too

a birdbath

purchased 

what 

a few dollars

now bound

to the stand

a family 

of four

birdbaths

in our yard

and speaking

of birds

here

so much

beauty

and what

I know

so much

I have 

learned

from

Tara Dillard
