Thank you for this fantastic six star review and the good advice. :)
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
This reminds me of going to thrift sales and bringing more trinkets home. Do you get rid of the ones that you had or do you use the new products? Do you have extra space so you can store them (after you get done using them)?

I usually just add them to my collections...that's my problem. I really do love thrift stores though...you as well? Thanks for reading. :)

I love thrift sales.

Yes, I understand completely. You have captured that tension between trying to live simply and the memories and stories and nostalgia of each item. Well written and best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Comment from AliMom
I showed your poem to my spouse because I absolutely get it. I hoped he would get it too as he is constantly pressuring me to get rid of my things, my precious remembrances. As if I ever could. Thank you for your confirmation of my feelings about my 'stuff'. It is a fine poem that everyone who is a collector can identify with. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for reading my poem and being a kindred spirit. My husband doesn't get it either, but I still keep him around anyway. :) Thanks again for reading. :)

A great poem for the contest. Yes. , you did have a messy place. Enjoy life and have a wonderful day. Live life through a child's eyes. Smile. Others will too.

Delightful! Oh, we are kindred spirits, my friend. I, too, struggle with giving or throwing away my "precious" things. They aren't worth much monetarily, but boy do they hold a wealth of memories! This is a delighful poem.

I like your poem about messes. You have rhymed it very well and you have great rhythm. Unfortunately, I can identify all too well. It is so hard to know what to do with things that you have collected over time and memorabilia from parents, etc. I have just been passing some of it on. Good luck in the contest.

A fun write about collecting getting out of hand and storing all these items poses a big problem. I hoard clothes and I just have to throw things out eventually, much enjoyed, fine rhymes and meter, love Dolly x

Comment from RodG
Oh, do I relate to the Speaker in this poem. Like her, I collect too many things and I don't want part with any. Good description of what she owns . I especially like stanza 4. And your last stanza sums up my attitude, too. Rod

I'm glad I'm not the only one. When I was little I used to collect stray animals, but my parents put a stop to that fast..lol. Thanks so much for reading my poem. :)
