Loveseat 4 Sale

I placed an ad within our paper
“Everything Must Go”
It said to come out early
that the prices would be low

I don’t have all that much to sell
or even giveaway
And soon as I can get this done
I’ll be along my way

I think it’s time to pack it up
and hit another town
This place is getting real cold
and all the leaves are brown

I think I’ll leave without a map
and simply kind of roam
And when the car runs out of gas
I’ll be at my new home

I think this time I’m going to skip
my quest for happiness
Every time I look for love
I leave another mess

I have a pair of matching blankets
only one is worn
I have an antique silver frame
the picture in it’s torn

I have a couple season tickets
they were lots of fun
I guess if you are interested
I’ll sell them two for one

I’m going to sell this extra baggage
that I’ve have had too long
In hopes that I will find a place
I finally belong

Maybe I’m just looking for
a different place to be?
Maybe there is something waiting
out there just for me?

I’m hanging by a heartstring
and I don’t know what to do
I have a loveseat that’s for sale
and half of it’s brand new

Gee, this seem hauntingly familiar. As if I have read this before. LOL Yes, I am sure of it. It is quite memorable. I loved the creativity and fabulous rhymes. And the flow that carried me along like floating on an inner tube on a lazy creek.

I swear the person who wrote this attended rhymaholic's anonymous with me.

Oh My God !! Perfect , beautifully crafted words here and so connect to where the writer is on his journey..it feel mature or a maturing ... a skin shedding an ego loosening .. or something like that ..lol anyway was fab !


" I think this time I’m going to skip

You are "young" in the space of time we are given, impatient in the desire of life's gifts (and they are there) but in the way you give of all YOUR gifts in writing of the life you've lived and how you wish to live, the LIVING at its best will slowly trickle in and provide you with a deep pool from which to draw the contentment that is reflected there. The more we give to life of ourselves, the more is returned. Being alone is a time of COUPLING with ourselves so that we can grow in our abilities to share when that ONE soul out there (much like you or me) finds the crumbs and follows the path to the door we bid them open...
Your writing could feed the multitudes.

This is so beautiful. I love how you centered it all around the loveseat. :) An awesome poem.

Aww! The last stanza made me all gooey inside. It made me want to give the guy a hug so bad! Absolutely marvelous. I love your work very much and honestly I am hypercritical of people most of the time, but you? Flawless. Love it.

Wouldn't that be great.. just sell all the old baggage. I guess there is an easier way, just let it go, except it's not that easy is it, or is it. See you got me all thinky now. Lovely poem.

When I read this I was almost singing it - you've created a neat effect.

I love the western, downhearted feel you've given this. For some reason I see a cowboy riding off in his truck towards wherever.

Nice job.

A emotional mix of this and that really well put and, such a good sound when it's read aloud.. rhythmic.. could be lyrics, all you need is a good guitarist and a voice to equal your words..

[Legion]

Sad and optimistic at the same time. Who'd a thunk it? This was suprisingly delightful to read even with its melancholic current. A good flow. Well done.

Everything else is so used up and disposable... The structure is simple and the ending superb. Interesting lawn sale poetry.
