A closet

Do you hear the whisper from a closet?

A closet is a narrow chamber where a couple of nobles are planning a plot.

A closet is a large box which naughty kids choose to hide for the hide-and-seek.

A closet is a banquet hall where ugly bugs and evil mice hold a crazy party.

A closet is as fantastic as a secret chamber, a concealing box and a magnificent hall.

A closet is a Pandora’s Box.

A closet might bury people’s secrets.

A closet might bottle up an old diary, valuable jewelry or a used gun.

A closet is as mysterious as a safe and a grave.

A closet is shabby, valued by a poor man.

A closet is luxurious, abandoned by a wealthy woman.

A closet is messy, blocked up by a careless boy.

A closet is neat, sorted by a tidy girl.

A closet is as perfumed as a garden filled in charming flowers.

A closet is as musty as a rotten fish.

A closet is opaque, obstructing my sight to the things inside.

A closet makes me forget what I put behind the boards.

A closet prevents all the stuff inside from getting dusty but also stops them touching the sunshine and breathing fresh air.

A closet is stubborn.

A closet is amazing.
