Day 78 prompt: handbag
I almost always carry a purse
Usually medium-sized
Sometimes boxy and wee
I avoid those cavernous sacks
That overwhelm my frame
So deep and dark I cannot see
Standard brown or black
Zebra, leopard or lime
Value pleather’s fine with me
Whatever, I will pack it full
Yet miss the very thing I need
Tissue, pen, mint or the right key
But if you need measuring tape
Teabag, candle or book to read …
I have it! How can that be?

Such a fun piece! I love it!
Thanks! Writing poems about everyday stuff IS fun!
“I will pack it full
Yet miss the very thing I need”,……. yeah my handbag is like that!! enjoyed reading this
I’m so glad this struck a chord. My family often marvels at how much can be in my bag (whether purse, briefcase or backpack), and yet there is never a tissue to be found!
