In modern days of convenience and fabrication <br />When words like modernization and improvement <br />Invoke thoughts of retrospection…met with frustration <br />I stand disappointed in the midst of forward movement <br /> <br />Remodeling is first and foremost in these innovative times <br />Declaring that old does not accommodate or please the eye <br />Making a decision to remove history of carpentry in its prime <br />Replaced with freshness… to the familiar say goodbye <br /> <br />Original cupboards made of oak… built seventy years ago <br />Strong and sturdy…shelves that held weight effortlessly <br />Created with skill … with drawers and doors … nice and slow <br />Within minutes… ripped and shattered in a heap… successfully <br /> <br />Replaced with wood faced doors that have a lovely appearance <br />Shelves are made of pressed wood chips... compactly layered <br />A sheet of grain-like imitation clings to the surface with adherence <br />Fate of dishes and glasses depend on plastic braces and a prayer <br /> <br />6/22/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/new-cupboards/
