Comment from joan marie
Oh, the open mic night at the Village Bookshop would go nuts over this. I love the language. And the cadence as I read it. Kind of wanted to start reading a little faster like Skeltonic Verse. For a chuckld: When I was little I couldn't pronounce Flabbergasted. My grandmother used to make me say it when she had company. My mom was horrified. I was like 4 years old. It came out Flabbybastard!! Write on! joan marie

I'm so glad you've posted so many of your poems. Once again the command you have of rhythm and words is amazing. This one made me smile, and it's such a good description of what flabbergasted is...excellent.

You don't know how much I appreciate your thinking I do comedy well since for years my children have kidded me that I'm not funny! This is because I can't retell a joke to save my life! I am waving the reviews of all the people who think I'm funny in their cute little noses!
Comment from Margaret Snowdon
Very cleverly thoughtout and
presented, light-hearted and
fun. Something quite different
that draws the attention and
holds it.
A real pleasure to review.
Regards,
Margaret.

I love it!!!! You crack me up. I love the verse with lightning and frightening, too funny! Your work kind of reminds me of children's stories. Ever thought of that?
I bet they would love your words!

I like the funny bone of his story. Quite great expressions and trusts are contained on it. I'm tempted to write a cliche also: I want to read what she is reading!

Aah man, Adewpearl, I sure would have liked to know what that secret was that had her panties in a bunch. Another fun piece. Thanks for sharing.

some people want to know and others are amused they never know - it's pretty much a tie at this point. One person even docked me a star and called me a tease. LOL Thank you for being a tad more understanding! :-D

adewpearl excellent job. I love words and you have many here,. This is well written, flows well and your chosen words creates incredible images, causes an elevation of excitement. The ending leaves one to wonder what had her flabbergasted. Good job. I Iook forward to more of your work. Wow.
