worlds without blueprints by Paper Trail Poetry

worlds without blueprints

Paper Trail Poetry

Letter blocks, green, blue, and red,
Are the only reading materials
For a solitary teddy bear
Lodged between two toy tractors
Collecting dust in the old toy chest

A myriad of memories sit dormant
In this attic abode, awaiting
A nostalgic itch to come searching

I know you remember those days where childlike wonder bloomed
As sun streamed through open windows,
Laughter filled the room,
And imaginations worked over time
To construct worlds without blueprints

Let these relics of your past reveal
A thread you never tugged on
To rekindle that quiet spark of joy

About the Podcast

One Poem Only
I'm Maggie Devers, and each day I'll read you a poem-nothing more, nothing less. No analysis, no noise-just a little space to listen.
A daily reading. A quiet moment. One poem, center stage: just for now, just for you. A one-night-only show, in verse.

Come back tomorrow. The curtain rises again.
