I will try my best

To give you what you seek

With all my heart

*

Mona Lisa’s eyes

Follow me wherever I go.

A mystery unsolved

**

inconsiderate

Think of themselves, not others

Leave a trail of pain

***

Drive around

Checking out the signs

Looking for hidden treasure

Appliances

Furniture

Baby stuff

Kids things

Clothes

Odds and ends

You never know

What you’ll find

When you go to yard sales

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    I love a yard sale and the only shops I shop in for clothes are the thrift store. It the thrill of the chase 😁 Captured perfectly!

    This bring back memories to me as well. I used to enjoy yard sales, but haven't been in a long time.

    Love this! Brings back vague memories of walking around the neighborhood with my grandma since she loved them.

    Bed bugs scare me, Dhar sees ghosts, I see bed bugs. Just stay away from furniture, books and such things are 🫠😞maybe ok. Still, I love yards sales and thrift shops. Such odd things to see.

    Re read it with Dharrsheena''s ghosts, I love it that way!

    The first two are my favourites! ☺️ Haven’t been to a hard sale in a while, but did use to like thrift shopping for books and DVDs and things like that. 😁

  • I don't know why but I always feel that the items in a yard sale and garage sale are haunted 🤣🤣🤣 Loved your poem!
