Big Tent's Last Prompt

The warehouse of your anxiety should be torn down. —Mariya Koleva

Cluttered Minds

Remember that lady in the news
who was declared missing,
but when her body began to stink
they found her in her own house
underneath the clutter?

As worries pile up and overwhelm,
creative thinking disappears,
dies and begins to stink.

Clear out worry’s clutter
Store up yesterday’s blessings.
Keep concentration
and creativity on today,
not what could go wrong tomorrow.

Connie - you made wonderful use of my lines. I'm happy to read such a smart poem. And so correct, too.
