Write Me a List Poem

I want you to think of a place - it can be broad (i.e. a city, country), or narrowed (i.e. the inside of your medicine cabinet, in your hamper, your bedroom, your dog's crate).

Using a list of objects from this place of your choosing, write me a list poem. (Homer's Iliad is a list poem!). Give me detail in this list. Make the list poetic. Make it unusual. Any length is fine.

This is a short contest - we are expecting a hurricane soon here in the gulf and I don't want it to interfere with the contest

Good Luck!!!

Uneasy in Noisy Library

blue screen of grudgingly slow computer burns tired eyes
wide leggs and big footed people encroach tiny chair from two sides

  hey... no worries. I really did like it, whether you spent time on it or not. I wouldn't have said what I said if I didn't think it had potential - which it absolutely does!
