Found Whilst Rambling.

It was a pretty beaded purse
With a dull gold fringe
And a dull gold shoulder strap
That I found, as I wandered near The Grange,
The old house on my map;
It put me in mind of the twenties age
When young flappers danced
With all that jazz and razzamatazz,
When prohibition waged.
But maybe I was lost in a reverie
And it was not from that time.

So I opened the purse
And there, inside,
Found a lonely U.S dime.

LavenderRose.

 

 

The quaint old china boot stands on the mantleshelf
The reason for its purchase long forgotten now
But lending a note of nostalgia somehow
The blaze from the hearth throws shadows on the walls
The faint sounds of ashes dropping in the grate
I watch them fall and then abate
As I turn my gaze towards the window
Glass panes flickering in the firelight glow
Through the door, comes a mewing bundle of fluff
Bringing a sense of well-being, a new lease of life.
