This made me smile and I am guilty of the same thing! My Mother was even worse! She would save broken kettles for my father to fix even though he'd been dead for five years! The collecting of beer cans made me smile, I collect the metal tops off champagne bottles! He he he, love Dolly x

Lighthearted creativity about a challenge that's real! "The copper jello mold should never be sold." What a great visual and truth! Very entertaining! Well done!

Very nice. This poem reminds me of my own overflowing attic.
Reading this was like a trip through my early adulthood up to present day.
I was especially impressed when you rhymed Afghan.
Nice rhymes, very accessible theme, great poem.

Hi Poet!

There is a lot of humor in this piece. You know what they say, to be able to poke fun at yourself is truly a gift. I think you will have the audience laughing.

Take a look at the crannies and nooks line... I'm thinking the way you have it stated that nook should be singular.

Good luck in the contest.

Kim

This is very well-written and funny. Your use of specific details is excellent, and your examples are widely varied. I'm trying to do better about throwing things away--for the sake of my daughter after I'm gone.

A cute self deprecating poem. Where you say: "Every cranny and nooks" that should be nook. For the next line to rhyme perhaps try: "Filled with a choice comic book" The artwork is really cute too.

Comically written I say for sure,
All the junk busting down the door.
Forty years of memories in every corner of our house,
Me I'd throw it all away, then she'll call me a louse!

I feel your pain, nothing to gain.
Let it go,
I'll tell you so.
You won't win,
By committing the sin... of throwing it all away.

Nicely done... John
