Some great treasures await us in garage sales, but it would certainly be difficult to put them in alphabetical order as masterfully as you have, Sue. Amazing ABC poetry! Love, Carolyn

Nice combination of list and ABC forms for a creative poem. I think if ever one has been involved in a garage sale he or she will be able to connect to this. I also liked your use of alliteration. This had to be quite the challenge. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and for the kind words on my poem. Keep on writing!!!!!! Karen

Yep, everything from A-Z. Our neighborhood has plenty of yard sales these days. This is automobile country where no one has a job these days. Great write. Love, daver

Excellent list here, a little of everything. It has been said that "one mans junk is another mans treasure;" I guess that makes me a treasure hunter. Great write. Thank you for your comments and the help, you rock. Smiles from Lolita

Very creative and new to read. Always wanted to do an ABC, yet never had the patience or the amount of vocab to produce such a creative piece like yours. Love, Sami.
