Good one, Barbara. It reminds me when I see yard sales and it looks like a bunch of junk on the yard but one day long ago, those were prized possessions, some of them. Congrats for your win.

Thank you Abdul. I wrote this after attending an auction and wondering about what those things meant to someone. Barbara

Barbara, they items may have been sold but the memories do not reside in the cloth, but in the fabric of time.

I certainly don't post every day and I wonder along with you about those who do..for me a poem takes hours usually, guess that means I'm usually not inspired. lol. Thank you checking in with me. BG
