Huh ... interesting. Not that it isn't good, because it is. I just wasn't expecting it to be so short lol. But you pulled the shortness off very well. The feeling I get when I read this is unemotion. The person is so hurt by another person he/she is numb and doesn't feel anything anymore. It feels cold. The only thing I would change about it is either a brighter background or font, it's a little hard to read. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck!!!

Ah, that a memory, a relationship
could be dismissed by someone so
easily, so carelessly, with so little cost.
A great capture of a situation!
This piece stood out as the first entry,
and held its ground.

the very notion of a second hand memory is a brilliant concept,
love this.

Very nice "second-hand memories." Condemnation of "one careless owner." In combination with the title, brings to mind relationships where the association means a lot more to one than the other--the other is even willing to let the "limited edition" go "cheap," a wasteful attitude of undervaluing something or someone; unwilling to become acquainted with its true worth.
-
haha nice! its amazing what you can say and express with such few words isnt it? but thats the simple truth. Good luck in the contest. Keep on writing, ~TC

poor old books, treated so shabbily. I like your choice of subject here, good use of the 11 words.
-
LOL ...
I love it. This is hilarious.
-
-
It's also sad ...
but the way you've handled it is amazing. -
-
haha, you have no idea how much that made me laugh.
I'm glad somebody finds it amusing, even if I don't. Haha

Yish. Broken hearts suck but they do make for wonderful poetry. I would tell you that the person who caused this isn't worth it but if they weren't, we would have missed out on a flicker of brilliance.
-
-
they were and still are well worth it
thank you

To think of emotions as second hand memories is quite sad, but that is the way how it goes sometimes.
Once a friend told me that heartbreaks make for good poetry, here is an example of what he meant.
Nicely done!
-
Oh no =[
I hope you're okay.
this is heartbreaking.
how do you put so much emotion into 12 words and 5 pieces of punctuation?
speechless.

Oh, I like this one. A great first poem in my contest! And of course the thought behind the poem is...how easily we can dismiss what we should hold dear. Like a relationship gone bad, or any past that we do not heed or appreciate.
Thanks for entering, I couldn't have asked for a better first entry.
-
-
relationship gone bad hits the nail on the head. thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
-
-
amazing
great job
=]] -
Hell, I can relate to that one alright, seems like it's wrote about me. Colours so sore on my eyes, but it's pretty.
-
great work!
Good luck
-
Definitely has that 'ouch' factor...great job & good luck in the contest!
