A Life in a Shoebox (a haiku)

by Ben Waggoner

Six birthday cards boxed.

Shoebox tucked away, buried.

Like my five-year-old.

About the Creator

Ben Waggoner

When I was a kid, our television broke. My dad replaced it by reading good books aloud. He cultivated my appetite for stories of adventure and intrigue, of life and love. I now write stories I think he would enjoy, if he were here.
