4d
Dredging the detritus of my life, I
Organise 60 years of artefacts and
Whittle away my possessions, while holding
Nostalgia at bay and
Skipping what won’t fit
In our next house, I
Zealously
Ignore the emptying rooms and try
Not to mind, but concentrate on
Going forward.
Never tried an acrostic before, so there are my thoughts about downsizing as we prepare for moving from a large vicarage to a small retirement house. Skipping in L5 is made from the noun "a skip" refers to putting things in a skip to be taken away as trash (I think dumpster would be the nearest word un US English)
