Excellent. This poem is fun to read and really describes many a shed. Sheds can hide a wealth of items needed as well as a bunch of what one man would call 'junk' and another would call it his 'treasure'. This poem is well written with lots of detail and describes many sheds sitting around farms and hidden woodlands. Well written and descriptions make it easy to picture the scene.

I am still smiling gentle bathed in the memories of my late husbands shed. Immaculately kept with so much of what I called junk. Even bread tie ups ( I remember goading him for collecting those)
But when I decided to deep freeze excess food- guess what he produced to seal the bags. One man's junk is the rest of the world's treasure, loved this thanks for sharing it

Great Job!! You did an excellent job in the penning of this poem, it flows well and excellent rhyming. It was an enjoyable read with a bit humor. I notice maybe a typo in the eighth stanza, first line "When talking old but useful parts"---

When "taking" old but useful parts

So, now I know what a real blokes shed is, thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend. Pharp

    Thank Pharp for your review and yes it is a sight to behold Kens shed but so full of content that it made my context flow easily and I'm glad you enjoyed this one too . I use the word 'talking 'as a way to speak about them but taking could work just as well so thanks for pointing this out alway appreciate useful tips. cheers Chris😆

A wonderfully crafted poem. What impresses me the most is the natural rhyme. The flow of this is wonderful. Each word choices seems natural - nothing is forced. Terrific job.

This was interesting and funny. So can a blokes shed be a reflection of someone who hoards? I too am a rhythmic poetry writer. I'm new to the scene. I am trying to get up enough points to get started. I enjoyed that. Keep on being imaginative.
