June,
Congratulations on your 2nd place win in this
contest! Your notes are funny...I'm not an early
riser either.
I like your mono-rhyme and creative entry.
I'm all about great deals...I just get lucky
with drive bys or walk bys.
Our entire house (except the bed) is
furnished from garage sales, estate
sales, craigslist and so forth. I have
the touch;)
Great poem and entry!
Linda

Congrats on your second place win in this contest. This is a good response to the contest prompt. Good rhymes, flow and content. I had the feeling from the contest directives that they wanted a synonym used in the poem but since it did not mention that directly, I do like how you captured the essence without using one.
Fine presentation with apt artwork.
Bravo
Warmly, rd

Your point is made well. If you really want to shop, you have to be one of the first on the scene. I rarely ever do it anymore. I'm trying to get rid of stuff and not accumulate any more.

I;m with you. Want to eliminate, not accumulate! Thank you for your positive feedback.

Oh, this is priceless, and so is the artwork you chose to accompany it - in fact, I had that book - a gift from my sister. Truly a treasure! It's authentic, too - I recognize the dust cover picture I think...
Good luck in the contest. Your poem is charming, and so is the sentiment behind it. :)

Well done! I liike this 5/7/5/ poem very much. I love garage sales, too, by the way. You have chosen a great picture here and the rhyme is an added touch. Great job.

Hi there,
Very nice piece here, fitting in the required syllable count. I have to admit that I am a sucker for car boot sales, so pretty similar. Although it does amaze me what some folks will buy! LOL
Best of luck

No telling what treasures you may find at a yard sale.
What the seller considers worthless may indeed be priceless.
Should make for an interesting entry into this contest.
