Date: 11/17/2009 12:44:00 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 Login to Reply

Lena Townsend Date: 11/16/2009 10:25:00 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 Login to Reply
