Sonnet 94

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

I had a really thick blanket that I loved….aside from that I don’t think I was really attached to anything when I was younger….my dad loved giving things away…..I think I just copied him.

I just didn’t have any material attachments….I think! No tell a lie! I remember now I was very attached to a book of bawdry limericks! Yep…I loved books!

I remember this really big book….a collection of Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets. I loved that big, dusty book with dog-eared pages. Every other day I would thumb through the sonnets! ‘Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds’ is etched in my memory.
