Small dogs on tube trains and
Cats with mashed noses
Wild flow'rs in pavements and
Wind scattered roses
Half-fallen French plaits and
Scuffs to inspect
Scruffy and fluffy, these
Things I collect
Neon marshmallows and
Old crumbs re-toasted
Personal messages
WhatsApp group posted
Unthought-through questions that
I can deflect
Curious, spurious
Things I collect
Daft ice cream flavours and
Not-quite-set jelly
Duvets on sick days with
Sofa and telly
Out-of-place objects and
Tales I project
Happy and scrappy, these
Things I collect
