Always Unpacking
My goal now, to lighten my load
Getting rid of unwanted stuff
Sometimes it gets a little rough
But I must keep on this long road
Slow and steady, sort of my mode
Needed things but not all the fluff
My goal now, to lighten my load
Getting rid of unwanted stuff
Listening to music rhythm flowed
Keep my voice low, minimal gruff
Finding papers, boxes and fluff
Holding my things that I have sewed
Slow and steady, sort of my mode

I have been in my home now for two years and still have things I need to go through from when I lived up north. It’s hard because I like my things but won’t wear the same things now, especially since my job isn’t one where I need to dress up.
Rondel Rules:
- Poem consists of 13 lines in 3 stanzas
- Rhyme scheme: ABba/abAB/abbaA (uppercase letters are refrains)
- Usually 8 syllables per line

I hate getting rid of stuff but it is necessary! Still I am not big on throwing things away even when they are no use to me!

I always think that things will be repurposed. For all of the things I have gotten rid of over the years there are often things that I wish I had held on to. But then I wonder if I still had it would I really care?

We are paring down things and it is getting difficult! We’ve gotten rid of the superfluous but have to work on the sentimental but essentially useless.

I figured out what part of my problem is…I get rid of things and then down the road want something similar and buy it again, cursing myself for getting rid of it in the first place!
