Comment from Chris Petersen

Excellent

I thought you would be starting the comp off with a loaded gun. Maybe my super-power is perception?

You have my vote. This is short and sweet and to the point.

Besides, wouldn't want to get on your wrong side, you might ZAP! me.

Well done, Chris.

Exceptional

No one likes to be treated like they are dumb. My husband came home from lunch very unhappy because his boss treated him that way. Not the way to treat people.

I think a mom is the best job their is! I like the way you set up the poem. Good rhyming and good chose of words to express you point. Blessings, LaVonne

Hi LaVonne :) Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and good luck wishes. Together with the 6 star award, you made my day!
I hope your husband has gotten better treatment from his boss since you wrote your review. Being disrespectful to people is not the way to get good performance or respect in return. His boss should know better than to treat his/her employees as if they are stupid... Kindest regards, Debra :) x

Debra, I truly like the cacophony that you put into this wonderful poem. Gives it what it needs to really sparkle and be brisk. This piece shows your creativeness, inventiveness and resourcefulness for even though being unusual infix notation quite well. Thanks for sharing and posting this work for everyone and may the good Lord be with you always.

This is great and a fun read. I like all the throwback to the old days of superhero's, back in my day:) This is very well written and I think it will be a good contender in the contest.

I love the picture. I love the poem. I zapped them too when was just a mother and housewife. I was a college graduate and published writer while raising six children. I did not broadcast this. I considered raising my children the hardest but best job. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

If one prefers to stay in one piece, it seems it's best to show you the upmost respect, Debs.

YEP! 'mums' sure are wonderful, attractive, humorous, intelligent and poetically talented!

Please don't tell Batman I'm really The Joker. ;-)

Great fun and impactful (ouch!) read.

Thanks for sponsoring this contest, and good luck with this excellent entry.

Cheers, Ted

Hi Ted :) Thanks for your fun feedback... This mother is actually haggard, knackered, lacking any patience and zap-happy this morning. I hate kids!
Congratulations on winning the prompt - you romped it!!
love debs xx

At least you keep up a brave face and always make me smile, Debs.

Thanks for your kind congrats - I thought I had a chance of doing reasonably well, but I was shocked - in a good way obviously - by the margin of the win.

'prompt/rompted' - you're a poet for sure. :-) Ted xx

Judging by your previous works, you had to develop a poem about.being a mother and housewife, but with superpowers. Mind you, you could have made realistic claims to such powers if you'd just focused on the challenges of being a mother of three. Nevertheless, I enjoyed how you've made a feisty declaration of superpowerdom based on your ability to,protect yourself from unwanted criticism. The use of the the old Batman styled emboldened ZAP etc works really effectively. Good luck in the contest.

Now there's a superpower I could have used at one time. Now that I'm a grandma, I get off easy by going to work every day. Being a mom is a 24/7 job with lousy pay but great rewards. Good luck in the contest.
