String and Sticky-tape

Sidey’s Weekend Theme, 08.10.2010: String and Sticky-tape

String and Sticky-tape

I’ll package up my past
In a brown paper packet
And close it up fast
With string and sticky-tape
So the memories all depart
(out of sight, out of mind)
And I can free my heart.

PS – Sorry, brown paper packets were out of stock…

String and Sticky-tape – 2

You broke my heart
In hundred and thousands
Of little pieces,
And I need mountains
Of string and sticky-tape
To put it together again
And take away the pain.

      Glad I made you laugh, Amanda! :D This is the only challenge I take part in because of the time factor. I would love to try all the others, but it is impossible for me for the next at least 3-4 months. Have a great weekend and r-e-l-a-x! Love, xxx

    i like them both…but the second’s simplicity i can se the heart wrapped in string and sticky tape….very nice adee

  4. gospelwriter says :

    I like them both; as poetry I prefer the first, but as a solution I prefer the second…. (the first made me think of pandora’s box) – well done!

    • adeeyoyo says :

      Thanks for the comment. I was also thinking of Pandora’s Box, lol! But I learnt something from this – not to publish anything that I’m not proud of – ever! Rather not post anything than rush it… I cringe now when I read both of them…

    The first is my favorite. Yes, wrapping up my past in brown paper sounds like a great temptation!

    • adeeyoyo says :

      Thanks so much for the visit and comment!!! I think it is the only way forward really… Check out my post ‘Nostalgia’ below…

    i liked the first, the idea of gettin rid of the stuff from the past that holds one back is almost irresistable

  7. Mid-Thirty Misfit says :

    Lovely take on the theme Adee! Hope you’re well :-)

    Nicely done! I liked both, but have to agree with the majority — the first is my favorite.

    • adeeyoyo says :

      Thanks so much for your visit and comment. I think I could have done better with both, but unfortuntely I rushed them – and learned a valuable lesson, lol!
