Carolyn Devonshire November 21, 2009 at 3:35 PM 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

Sara Kendrick November 20, 2009 at 3:52 PM Got the alphabet down pat. Like the idea. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara

November 17, 2009 at 12:44 PM 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

Daver Austin November 17, 2009 at 9:46 AM 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

Lena Townsend November 16, 2009 at 10:25 PM 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
