PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Inquiring and Inquisitive

A world of wonder and mystery

In awe, I collect knowledge and experiences

Neatly arranged memories in my Cabinet of Curiosities

• Including every episode of Scooby Doo, my favorite
• Late nights watching original Godzilla films

• The Raggedy Ann doll who tragically lost her eye to surgery
• Playing store with pantry forage, prices in pen on masking tape

• Joyful immersion in the practice of piano
• Hiking, stargazing, and the beauty of the moon

• The thrill of thunder, lightning, and rain
• Watching from the porch with my sisters and a bowl of popcorn

• Fear of the gorilla in the closet
• Comfort of silky homemade hot chocolate

• Mail order Sea Monkeys that didn’t smile, or even swim
• Favorite books leading me to worlds of imagination

• Mom’s handwork, Dad’s intellectual pursuits
• Extended family with stories of people and places unknown to me

A memory collection of real and imagined phenomena

Symbolically arranged and preserved artifacts of my life

A place of retreat for contemplation of unsolved mysteries

Controlling the world through reproduction, interpretation

Observing with intrigue all that is magnificent and freakish

Marveling in the abundance and diversity of a dangerous, but beautiful world
