i walked outside yesterday
and had the most wonderful feeling.
the sun was yellow, the grass was green,
and it was really quite appealing.
i thought to myself,
"why not make some money?
i can bottle this feeling,
a feeling sweeter than honey.
surely others will buy it,
it's a rare find!
that's what i'll do,
i would be so kind."
so i took a jar
and scooped up the air
alongside all of the feelings
i had hoped to share.
but then i discovered
when i opened the jar
was absolutely nothing!
it was quite bizarre!
how could i sell something
that did not exist?
oh, exist it did
it had been in my midst!
while i still had the feeling,
where did it go?
it occured to me then
that it, i could not stow. [ uisforukelele's advice column | Ask uisforukelele A Question ]

I like the example about weather. You could try things like a sunset or watching the sunrize or the clear sky on a sunny day, that feeling you get when you jump into a cool lake in the hot summer time.
things you'd like to sell... hmm like a fight with your friends or bug bites. you could do a take off on that old mary kate and ashley olsen song they did when they were super young and try and sell your big brother. :p
Those were a few random ideas, to decide between selling the bad and buying the good you have to decide is this a happy {:)} poem or a sad {:(} poem? So if it's happy, buy something you love, if it's sad sell something you don't love.
iwubyewbby answered Sunday April 22 2007, 2:34 pm: I think writing about Love or Honesty would make a great poem! Talk about how you wish Love could be bought be cause the store is where you find the greatest of all things and you know you'd find true love. Er say something like this.
