Which Box Are You In? – Poem by Me

If you know me, you know how I like to put
things into boxes. It's hard to place which box
you belong in. You're too colorful, too surprising
for me to sort you just yet.

Each box on my desk calendar filled in with tiny
handwriting, each box in my closet packing away
memories that deserve to be kept but belong 
in the past, each box reveals something.
Except you.

I hope you enjoyed this piece! Admittedly, I’m one of those obsessive organizers who has to file every piece of information in my brain and constantly keep my room tidy, so this was a natural thing to write about. Please feel free to share feedback and writing challenges in the comments. Stay safe and healthy out there.
