"Take, if you must, this little bag of dreams", wrote W. B. Yeats. My poem makes use of the last four words.

ONE SMALL POEM
Beryl had a little bag...
It was white and full of
precious dreams
to make you think and think
The opening was small -
enough to let one small poem out a day
Closing it was done with
silky ribbon.
It was white and long and as lovely
as the dreams
