Flea Market

One of my favorite things to do in the world...no matter which side of the table I am on -for team Renfield-Think about what you love and write about something that reflects you favorite things

Sharing a smile at five in the morning

Fumbling through boxes still forth-coming

Covering table with eye pleasing treasures

Speaking to people,  who were moments ago only strangers

At Christmas I try to find unique mangers

A bit of the past, a little new

once even a pair of alligator shoes

these are the days I have no blues

This is nice.

This is a nice little descriptive capture of a moment. Although it's as brief as the moment it portrays, this poem has a nice feel and brings the scene clearly into focus for the reader. Even though we've never been there, we've all been there. We all understand the sensation of quiet, complicit union with others in appreciating the small pleasures of life. I like the way you move from the insightful, "unique mangers, a bit of the past, a little new" to the slightly more flippant, throw-away line about "alligator shoes", it's a nice representation of what an actual flea market is like, the occasional gem, a true representation of life, tucked away under a mass of objects which may be pleasing, but are of less import in our lives. Really nice quirky poem with nice use of language and nice bouncy rhythm. Very descriptive, but allows the reader to fill in their own blanks, and therefore, it feels personal. Nice.

I have to say, this makes me value the holidays all the more. Pleasing piece of work, luciddreamer.
