Zzzzzzz...Wha?!...Oh yeah.
Anyway, The March Challenge prompt is on the subject of cleaning one's closets. Writer's Island's prompt is 'inseparable.' I wrote the Writer's Island prompt this AM (quatrains and couplets) but The March Challenge poem (a pantoum) was written a few years ago, and first appeared in Sol Magazine and then later, in my book Mugging for the Camera. It just seemed kind of apropos.

Joined at the Hip
If split up, the damage could be irreparable.
These things are completely and wholly inseparable…
burger & fries,
chips & fish,
cup & saucer,
spoon & dish,
bacon & eggs,
sugar & spice,
bread & butter,
naughty & nice,
peas & carrots,
cookies & cream,
salt & pepper,
balance & beam,
knife & fork,
pb & j,
salsa & chips,
night & day,
spaghetti & meatballs,
crackers & cheese,
paper & pencil,
thank you & please,
summer & winter,
spring & fall,
Yogi & BooBoo,
bat & ball.
The pairs above are kind of ‘joined at the hip.’
Just keep ‘em together – that is my best tip.

Closet Avoidance
I am going to clean out my closet.
Who knows what strange things I might find?
Perhaps in a trunk, I'll find a lost sock
or a book or a hint of the past. Who knows? Certainly not I.

I'm fearful I might turn up a ghost (in a matter of speaking)
or a book or a hint of the past. Who knows? Certainly not I.
I'm a serial packrat and an unrepentant procrastinator; my family is baffled.

Maybe I really should put the whole thing off - for now.

I am going to clean out my closet.
Maybe tomorrow.
