Paragraph to Poem

Inside the room there is a laundry basket overflowing
A pair of boots, one pair of converse and another pair of athletic sneakers
gather around the basket on a handmade rug
I made the rug from my old roommate's old t-shirts over the summer
With one leap of the eye, there is a bed. 
It's up against the white, bumpy wall
There are plenty of blankets and pillows piled high to increase comfort
Sitting against the main pillow is Rosebud, the bear 
my grandpa gave me when I was little 
Her cloth body is alert and sitting up straight 

Up against the bed is a sturdy wooden desk and matching bookcase 
Books line the shelves along with picture frames and other mementos
Among the fictional books are a few textbooks and many sketchbooks
There's a photo of me and my mom leaning against glass soda bottles
Adjacent to the bottles there is a recent family photo album
that I look at when I'm feeling sad
Another frame contains a photo of a fountain from Spain
That my friend Mikey printed and gave to me for Christmas
A different frame displays a postcard I bought in Spain
It's a Picasso quote that says 
"el principal enemigo de la creatividad es el buen gusto."

On the side of the bookcase there are bible verses 
My former teammate wrote a card for me that has Psalm 143:8 on it
"Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning
for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk
for I give myself to you." I like to wake up and read it.
There are pictures that a seven year old best friend made for me
There is also a quote about courage. 
"Courage doesn't always ROAR.
 Sometimes courage is the quiet voice each day 
saying 'I will try again tomorrow'"

Hanging on the wall above the bed there is a cloth memo board 
the ones with ribbon that hold things relatively in place
Newspaper and magazine cut outs litter the board along with 
photos, paint samples, cards and other things artists pick up
The magazine clips are motivational phrases or silly things
"I could use a latte." "Rosetta Stone: Live Life Fluently." "Victory starts here."
There's a Marvin comic about being lactose intolerant
A fortune from a cookie, ticket stubs, Jars of Clay backstage pass
Above that there are  five other picture frames
Three contain actual photos. 
Me and two of my best friends in Nicaragua for a missions trip
A picture of me and a friend that was taken by a third friend
A collage of senior pictures
The others display quotes
"Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth." Picasso.
A Martin Luther quote about how God writes stories in nature
decoded by a friend's dad out of the newspaper
A slew of quotes in a frame my sister gave me for my birthday
She's always gives me pep talks, even when we're apart

A string of lights reflect in the glass of the frames   
On the wall that supports the majority of the pillows on the bed 
 a collection of papers, hung with tape
Who really cares about the rules? 
A postcard and a regular card from my sister
three drawings from aforementioned best friend and niece 
a calendar picture of a door in Italy
a Lawrence Welk record pinned to a bullitin board
that reminds me of my grandparents
three hats supported by 3M hooks
a Downton Abbey calendar and two magazine pages 
temporarily fixed to the wall.
