Literally or Figuratively, What Clutter? #FOWC #wordprompt

 declutter all clutter
 jumbled mind, disarranged spaces
 cacophony, disorder
 figuratively, literally
 for what's trivial
 and what's important
 are what You extract 
 of your surroundings
 
 but if it unscrambles 
 knots within you
 fixes mood tidies perspective
 if it sends your heart aflutter
 curls your lips,
 delights your senses
 satisfies and gladdens moments
 you have No clutter

The tipping point:

What’s trivial and what’s important are whatever value you ascribe them out to be. Declutter your life by balancing and being selective about the things you surround yourself with, for the way the trivial becomes the important and vice versa is determined by the amount of attention or inattention one gives to things. And each person’s capacity to derive importance from them translates to gratifying moments that matter to that individual.

If something holds value, even figuratively, you need it in your life. Treasure it for that’s not clutter.

Had a late start with the word prompt — clutter — at Fandango’s This, That, and The Other. Even with that in mind, I wish to send this one, with my thoughts out into the blogger-sphere. Enjoy.

  it was a short one, Markie. Was trying to write a Diamante (a contrast poem) but was coming up short. So then I lined the words up and came up with that short piece. So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful new week. I wish you miracles.
