Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about hand-made gifts who are mostly presented with love and hard work are not always appreciated by the receiver of these precious gifts.

Hi Sandra! Thank you :)
Comment from Treischel
I noticed the variation in format and liked it, along with your descriptions of those previous handmade gifts. Some wonderful memories from the past.

Hi! Thank you :)
Comment from Joan E.
I hope you feel better soon and can catch up easily. Thank you for sharing your homemade gifts from the past and their treasured memories. I enjoyed your freely combining the couplets and 5-7-5's, which stand alone and also work well together. Cheers- Joan

A very nice post. We all have some gifts that we can't part with, mostly for sentimental value, I think. Most people do hold onto meaningful things, but that's okay. Marilyn

Hi Marilyn. Somebody broke into our home and stole jewelry, money, family albums with childhood awards and sentimental things like the toilet paper doll. There are some real scumbuckets. It was happening constantly to me on my own. I am happy for survillance camera technology now. Thank you. God bless you :)

I'm very sorry to hear that. There are some people who have no regard for anyone else. Marilyn

I just enjoyed reading your poem and the meaning of every line. Anything made by someone can be special and memorable heirlooms to be handed down. Well done!

Comment from Cindy Decker
The layout of your poem is very beautiful; the photo and the script lettering complement your poem about homemade treasures. I have a few of these treasures stashed away. I remember the pie pole who made them for me years ago, and the treasures become even more valuable. An excellent set of poems you can give as a keepsake for someone special. (I used to write poems in birthday cards). Best wishes.

Hi Cindy! Poetic greeting cards sound lovely. I have done a few myself. The birthday one's are considered common. Romantic may not be. I hope you have them saved too. You're nice. Thank you
God bless you :)

You?re welcome. I send the birthday poems only to my young nieces and nephews. They seem to enjoy them, and overlook errors. Lol. Have a wonderful day.

Hi Sunnilicious, I, for one, liked the variety between the 5-7-5 and the couplets. I like the continuity of the subject throughout and the fact that the poems can also stand alone is cool. Well done :)

I did notice that you were missing a couple of days. Sorry to hear it was because of feeling sick and hope you recover quickly! I liked your poem about these special handmade gifts that have so much more meaning because of the giver.

Hi Helen! I'd like to see a doctor, but it's all online or telephone. I can't wait for this pandemic to be over. You're nice. Be careful, stay safe and strong. Thank you
God bless you :)
