Pawnshop

An old ring, she lost
Found it in pawnshop, one day
Pawned, hungry belly.

A Pawnshop Customer

Downtown
broad squares
highway
out of these places
every nook and cranny alleyway,
shabby signboard,
makes a terrifying sound
when the wind blows,
we open a very narrow door
and meet an old man
who greets us with a warm smile
across an iron cage
we are always curious
about the treasures buried
in the darkness behind him
They are of no use to him.
Where are you taking all valuables
and

Pawnshop

welcome
to my little pawn
shop

I will sell
you my old
teenager dreams

don't worry

everything turned
out better this way.

At the Pawnshop

Dusty windows reflected fading dreams,
Of items treasured now lost in schemes
Of hopes long lost or freshly dashed,
Left in limbo as cheques were cashed.

Love's Pawnshop

Love’s Pawnshop
         by Odin Roark

Unable to pay the debt
Love is often pawned
Sympathy as a claim check
Stuffed deep in pockets of suffering

Such self-deprecation roams the streets
Perplexed with using the tender
As peace offering to the beloved
A gesture risking resentment
Nothing conducive to healing 

Perhaps better spent on survival-type passion
Allusion’s princely

At the Pawnshop

(written to go with the tune of "Under the Boardwalk")

Oh, when you’re strapped for cash, and your rent is coming due.
If you gambled badly, and your bookie now is after you,
Down at the pawnshop, you need to be, yeah,
Where there’s laptops, old comic books and fine jewelry.

(Refrain)
At the pawnshop. Oh, what great fun!
At the pawnshop.

At the Pawnshop

I walk in, It almost feels cold
Letting go to all the unknown
That ring you got me a promise we didn’t keep
 a frame of  a picture of us
You didn’t stay out long enough for me to need
The key to the house
That we couldn’t afford to love
And here are my mom tears that I couldn’t

At the Pawnshop

I was in the local pawnshop
When a lovely watch I spied
Just like the one my mother wore
When she was my daddy's bride.

She lost it in our big house fire.
I remember how she cried.
Mama reminisced about it
Until the very day she died.

I knew then that I would buy it,
I simply could not turn aside.
Daddy never could

At the pawnshop still survive.....

At the Pawnshop- Contest

I spied it in the window, wasn’t very plain to see
Cos the glass was very mucky, the price I cannot read

Tentatively went into the shop, was dark couldn’t see the way
The man was old and bent, I hesitantly asked to see the tray

It was a lovely emerald, green as the grass at home
Looked longing at
