Sealed comic books,
prized baseball cards,
collectors nook,
under his guard.
Old postal stamps,
valuable coins,
under bright lamps,
brought his heart joy.
Just one lost piece,
ruins the bunch,
removed his peace,
like a swift punch.
Searched ever high,
dug deep and low,
focused both eyes,
precisely slow.
Hung his head down,
stared at his feet,
right on the ground,
lost item greets.
All tension broke,
felt bliss compiled,
he grabbed a coke,
and wore a smile.

My mom would have loved this one. She was a collector of Coca-Cola memorabilia. This poem would have most certainly made her smile. Well done, Grace! 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. This truly means a lot to me, dear Mike. Have a fabulous day.💕
The joy and relief of finding lost things!
Yesss 💕
Memories in boxes..always bring me a smile. Thank you, Grace. Really excellent take on the prompt.
Me too. Thanks so much, Suzette.💕
A wonderful surprise. My husband is a big baseball card collector and trader. He’s recently started collecting the nespresso pods when they’re done. I’m like huh? I can’t wait to see what he does with them. People love their collections!
Yes. Collectors are pretty passionate. Please share when you find out what he does with them, I am curious now too. 💕💕💕
They really are. I most certainly think nothing… 🤣 I recently too a pic of them when cleaning and said should we throw these out? He didn’t respond… I’m sure we’ll end up throwing them out but for sure I’ll keep you posted Grace.. 🤣🤗🥹🥹🥹😇
