Notes About The Poem

For the Journal, Junk, Jagged Words Poetry Contest of Constance La France

One Man Trash Another Treasure Stock Illustrations – 2 One ...

A rhymed acrostic with 14 -syllable lines _____________________________________________________&

Junk

"One man's trash is another man's treasure" Old English Proverb

Just because you think some thing is too old or has become
Useless doesn’t mean it should be tossed out. Here is a hint:
Never think another would not want it. You might feel dumb
Knowing an old record you’d thrown away was worth a mint!

Good Morning Andrea. Hi. Your format is in perfect form and you truly managed it to flow with coherence and clarity. Truly. Yes, nothing could ever be trash or junk because it will always serve a purpose. Thank you for sharing your talent. Have a wonderful day and week. Blessings always. (smile)

This is so true, In Malta when we want to get rid of what we don't want, we put it on the pavement and write a note. "Bulky Refuse". Blessings

I like your take on this theme, Andrea. Some call it junk--for some it may be treasure.

This is so profound and so true and very well said, a very wise acrostic! I absolutely love this and I agree with everything you’ve said there. Theres always someone that would appreciate us more , even if one tosses out someone they should know. And this line, Useless doesn’t mean it should be tossed out. Here is a hint:” hits hard! Along with the hint youve passed on.Couldnt have said it any better: and i love the fact that this flows so seamlessly! Brilliant one dear Andrea.

Oh my, this is indeed a very thought-provoking and deep acrostic, dear Andrea! You've said it all so well, in a creative and intriguing manner.. That we must not be negligent of things and what seems to be trash for us might worth millions for others.. We should take every opportunity as a learning phase.. This applies to so many dynamics in life.. A brilliant poem, truly!
