Yard Sales are the 
Macy’s of Saturday shopping, 
On a budget that fits in my coin purse.

There was a lass in Chinatown
Who sold her shadow for a crown
The buyer said,
"We must be wed!
Its pouring rain and you could drown!"...

Joe Slick got wealthy as a liar.   
He offered his services for hire. 
He could twist the truth
with a skill uncouth.
Politicians were his buyer....

If it sounds too good to be true
The low price is the clue
So what would you say
To a resort on Waikiki Bay
That costs you but two hours pay
  ~ Caveat emptor! -- Stay away!...

Shopping Spree

Picking
Paying
Stopping  
Looking
Spending way too much, picking, paying.  
Buyer of things, lots!  Stopping. Looking.

A panic buyer, name of Stan,
will grab each bottle, jar or can
and leave the supermarket bare.
(No toilet paper? Stan was there!)
His house is full...he buys some more,
and cannot squeeze inside his door!...

Mind
is the treasure of thoughtfulness

mysticism
outburst flow of mind

out to in and in to out
the whole of thinking
guided by the mind

buyer and seller
differently use this thinking
after the mind getting retirement

Twist to open
buyer beware
secret entrance
to devil's lair
drowning troubles
makes them worse
twist to open
another curse
family gone
along with pride
time to try
the other side
God forgive me
help me stand
want to see
the promised land...

The term of Labour 
Ending with our is meaningful 
Involving the two parties in the process 
The buyer and the seller 
To buy the tiring labour 
In exchange of sweat in Dollar terms 
In the contract to reach sweat alone
Tears instead is a complete violation...

The message in the bottle was not what I expected to see

The glass so clear, vodka fetid within, the label beckoned to the buyer

The cap torn off, insides drained, the droplets stained like weak bleak tea

The promised dreams were nightmares, the vendor a stinking liar....

The sun is up, heat unbearable,
He stands there rejected and miserable,
Slowly hope he loses,
as every potential buyer refuses.
His goods remain unsold,
His misery untold.
Swiftly the night approaches,
And his hunger encroaches.
He packs up and leaves,
Despite everything, he calmly sleeps......

I learned the lesson “let the buyer beware”
When I didn’t have that much money I could spare,
Took by an itinerant grifter
Who was quite a likeable drifter
He took me for a ride and didn’t even care!

If 'tis a fright, you so desire
Then I shall give thee words most dire
It's of a group that's filled with ire
Towards the common thrift-shop buyer
For what these shoppers do admire
Is lower cost, and not these higher
Prices that plague the attire
Of this group we deem a liar
Behold, the brand name clothing supplier!...

Listen to poem:

Buyer Beware 
David J Walker

The Earth is our patient host
And we are the guests
Feasting freely in a full pantry  
Steeling the linen 
Calling our neighbors invaders
Demanding justice to fortify our
Positions and satisfy our ambitions
Enforcing the bowing and kneeling
But buyer beware
Earth has its own practice 
Of healing...

Glaze the glass and blow
liquid luster, lava flow
Twirl the oven, hallucinate
Clink the cooling 'till it breaks
Make it cobalt, gold flecked muse
Shallow breath to counter fuse
Hollow bubble on sweating metal
Sting of lungs by the great glass nettle
The end is a bauble to be bought by the buyer
Born from the heat from the un-ending fire....

It’s only a matter of course
That a buyer is filled with remorse.
     What looked good at first glance
     May soon lose its romance
And become what you’d never endorse.

If it’s possible, get to the source,
Checking out if they’ll really enforce
     “No returns.” As a rule,
     Some exchanges are cool;
Well, except in the case of divorce!...

Livingroom is full of absolute crazy joy.
It is more colorful than a toddler’s toy.
The designer knows the buyer very well.
They grew up together in Wisconsin Dells.

I love everything about it the recipient said.
She knows my tastes from my kitchen to my bed.
They are sisters and have grown up together.
No better investment, uplifting colors in every weather....

like a mother bee
which produces sweet honey
beautiful flowers posses
the sweetest nectar
if your love is a commodity
then i am neither
the buyer nor the seller
for love is precious than silver
you make me comfortable
Others made me inferior
But you made me capable
Sometimes it sad
I ignored you
It makes me feel bad
Why did i act a fool
For your love is true...

There I was reaching thirty
just been widowed year before
now the work place was to close
redundancy now at my door

But friend told me of a vacancy
at local wholesalers for food buyer
so few months before work closing
went for interview before got fire

So got the job at wholesaler
made redundant on the Friday
start Monday as a buyer
in continued employment I did stay...

Selling memories, possessions at the yard sale
Just junk the buyer says, I will take it off your hand
Hard times have hit, yes we need a break
Kindness, charity impress apon the inner voice
Let it go, someone else needs it more.

She goes inside to empty cupboards and cries.
No supper tonight, no breakfast tomorrow...

Vultures circle to take advantage, will the house be gone?...

A new car is in serious trouble,
Its worried owner worrying his stubble
A helpless heart is on fire
No longer sure The Devil is A liar!

Unmistakable tears of a crier,
At a still far off market, a buyer
And through accursed routes A Trier.

New dreamy wishes of a road drier,
Upset  by his left front tire,
Already in a manacling mire…

Some tomorrow a flying car or car-flyer...
