A look backwards to Day 1 of Laura Shovan's Found Object Poem Project- 

you can read about the project here.

Since I did not create a poem for this mysterious box, I wanted to add my thoughts. The poem below is based on my knowledge of a antique box in my house.

delicate lacy treasures 

graced my lining decades ago

when ladies' gloves were in vogue-

some partner boxes carved 

with etchings were showpieces-

mine was rough-hewn,

dovetailed, and sturdy

suitable for travel-

a proud bearer 

of a treasure

in time

Day 21 Prompt
submitted by Jone MacCulloch

Giddy-up Delight

Tiny, old-fashioned ponies

tethered to a ring

grace the streets of Portland

as a usual thing.

Bemused by horsey antics

on the streets of town

I thought of childhood memories

and carousels renowned.
