Tell Us Something We Don'T Know Contest

In days gone by, the folks I know,
have all some strange collection,
Some save strings and bits of news,
And different recollections.

I've seen people guard old stamps
as though they were a goldmine,
While others choose rare pictures
and term them as a "God's Find"

From pipes to antiques and even toys,
Each person has their "spree"
And I'm among the millions,
To choose poetry, for me!

To me poetry is far more valuable and worthy of saving than the stamps, coins and antiques others save. Enjoyed your poem, Judy. Best wishes in Francine's contest! Love, Carolyn
