Yard Sale

Just something I wrote today while at a yard sale I was helping with! Enjoy!

Summer breeze in the middle of spring 

Birds tweeting and bugs flying in the air

Sun blazing in the early morning hours 

People driving by without a care in the world

Burning in the hot sun just waiting and waiting

Hoping some people come by and look at things here

Bored out of my mind just waiting, wishing and hoping

Listening to music and writing to pass the time

Music player on random never know what song will be next

Sweating here in the sun probably getting sun burned ouch!

Sitting here just waiting at the yard sale

The music can only entertain me for so long 

Playing the waiting game is hard to do

Oh, wait what is this a customer perhaps?

Why, yes it is! Finally!

They look around and inspect the stuff

Say thank you and go on their merry way

Leaving me to wait again for the next person

Sitting here at the yard sale waiting.

You make boredom sound interesting. I love how you get inside the character's head and describe the dynamic's of what they're feeling, well done!

I never liked yard sells. Well being the one to play shopkeeper that is. You sound bites during it.

This is really an amusing, well-written poem. Loved it and I hope you had more luck with other customers! :)
