You gave life to this antique jewelry
box through your lovely poem.
It tells a sad story of past loves
as the owner has aged along with her treasure.

Thank you so much for the nice review!
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. Any girl's dream is to have a jewelry box to hold her treasures and jewelry save. It is a pity the music doesn't play anymore but it is still a valuable treasure.

Allison, I always wonder what stories lie behind many old and treasured things I find or see. Great little free verse here, with a good imagination used... and what this jewelry box may have known in the past. Thanks and warmest regards, Marijke :o)

Glad you found the jewelry box. I love what you have drawn from the discovery. A lovely economic write that succinctly captures your response to the purchase.

Hi there,
I liked this very much. It starts observational but widens into a more broad commentary as it goes on. It is very concise but still carries an astute understanding.
Nicely penned.

Thank you for understanding my poem and such a nice review!
Comment from Carole Rosa
Allison, in my opinion this poem is not about a jewelry box, it's about a life that is as antique as the jewelry box. I liked it!! Very nice. Carole

Well, you've done it again. Very easy read about going from youth to old age. You have a knack for saying so much with just so many words.
Take care,
Ray
