TREASURE TROVE
By Irene Rawnsley
I keep a tin
to keep things in
underneath
my bedroom floor.
I put my finger
in the crack,
quietly lift
the floorboard back,
and there’s my store, safely hid
in a tin with roses
on the lid.
A few feathers and a chicken’s claw,
a big tooth
from a dinosaur,
the wrapper
from my Easter Egg,
a Christmas robin
with one leg, long hairs
from a horse’s mane,
real pesetas
come from Spain,

three of
my operation stitches,
like spiders
wrapped in bandages,
a marble full of dragon smoke,
flashing with fire
in the dark,
a magic pebble
round and white,
a sparkler left
from Bonfire Night.
Underneath
my bedroom floor
there’s a treasure tin
with my things in.
