I have been on a mission declutter my lifelong collections. I guess it really is a mess no matter how neatly it's still a mess. This was a very cute poem that was full of hard truths. I enjoyed this. Gretchen

For some it is a mess, for some others it is just memories. Perhaps even precious memories. My wife is a big fan of the TV show Hoarders, I can bare stand to watch it, and have never watched a complete episode. My mother was a professional housekeeper at a major hotel. Making and not cleaning up a mess would have spelled a near death sentence for me.

I enjoyed this poem because I understand this poem. I tried to keep everything I ever owned and every receipt for purchases. I just recently shredded copies of my 2006 income tax returns.

Your poem beautifully and rhythmically describes the characteristics of a person who loves things they own. I like the term you used..."keeper." Also, I love the artwork. It pairs perfectly. Best wishes in the contest.

He says you reap what you sow, so they'll clean it themselves when you go. That's not true, my son is a slob. He just eats, works out and goes to his job. Bad, bad poem. Yours is good though.

Yes, I hear you. It's heard to get rid of and more fun to add to.
Sometimes things we hold onto things for the memories they bring us.
Your poem is fun to read . The rhymes are clever.
Good luck in the contest.
