Buzz Lightyear

1. Name something you lost or gave away that can never be replaced.

My father bought you,

for me,

when I was a young boy.

You were probably first edition,

I loved you,

Yet, you were only a toy.

Then one day it happened,

garage sale,

when I was, but ten.

I didn't realize the repercussions 

this had,

that I would never see you again.

Author's Note

First prompt out of 130. I'll post my poem for the second prompt tomorrow.

Probably encapsulates the point of the films more completely than any admiring article about them online.

You seem to be writing from the experience and perspective of that child as well, which matches the purpose of the poem exactly.

Thank you for the review, and your first point actually says something that I never considered. I'm glad that you could see something that I didn't.
thanks

Awww.
Very cute. Everybody has let something go at one point or an other and then regretted it. Books. Red bell-bottoms...

But, hey, it is just stuff!

Great poem that everybody can relate to though.

[Harrisen Viator]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
And it means a lot that others are able to relate to it.
Thanks for your input.

I believe the only thing I regret giving up was my crappy guitar. It had low quality pickups and a trussrod that would not ever adjust for me. When I got a new, shiny Ibanez, I sold my first guitar for $50. I now want it back. But it is lost now. Wherever it is, I hope someone is, at the very least, looking at it. If they're playing it, then I have no worries. Hakuna matata.

Oh yeah, I'm sure that would be such a sad thing to give up! I remember my first guitar, too, but it is now back at home with my family, because my dad recently gave me his first guitar.
I'm glad that my poem was able to speak to you in some way!

Aw! Poor Buzz - this is a fun poem, and reminds me of my own childhood (loooong ago), of toys that I loved. Great write!
