TGIF
I, Dawn, am a junkaholic, and not trying to quit
or rather a treasurer seeker
a recycler of items that come with memories
a purveyor of miscellaneous finds
from thrift stores, and garage sales
city wide
I break for garage sales
have caused a few pileups, not!
Thank god its friday
and summer
cause I want to shop
cookbooks well worn,stained pages
creating savory meals
hard used screwdrivers
hammer that built
laughing tree houses
warm hot chocolate throws
Lavender, sunflower, coral
brightening up my home
jewelry someone wore
to dance at festivals
or hold hands with her sweetheart
so many items used
like me
but not past their expiration date
Thank God its Friday
time to play
seek out those precious finds
on warm Summer's day
When I die
don't pile those treasures around me
this fleshly tent will have collapsed
take me knickknacks, and backpacks
my pictures,plates and books
give them away to those who will
wonder what memories are brought with them

I love this, very cool - I have a question tho, is "I break for garage sales" a double meaning kind of thing or was it supposed to be brake? It works either way, just wondering.

Yes it is misspelled I have to edit some of these thanks for pointing it out

I hope you don't mind - I certainly appreciate it when people point such things out.

I don't mind at all KL! I appreciate your words and taking time to read what I have written, I don't have the training you do and tend to write my poetry very quickly and sometimes sloppy. It is nice having the perspective of others that know that what we put out there in words is putting our souls out there. Thanks for your sensitivity. I am enjoying this site wish I had joined a while back.
I also see some similarities in our styles from the few pieces of your I have read so far. Have a great night and feel free to comment anytime.

You touch a lot of daydreams with this one... and the realities some actually try to live. I remember many pauses and caught breaths. You take care.
