I'm betting this was more difficult than it looks. Its very creative and original and it must have been fun to put together. Nice job on it.

This was fun, I'm sure. You accomplished a story in only one syllables words and I'm in awe at the fact it is even a fine story. At least it succeeded and I hope you win.

Wow! I can see why this work has a Recognized Ribbon. It is very well done. It is very hard to write a story using only one-syllable words. Heck, it's hard to write a review like that. Good Job.

Hi there amanda. Yep! This is good. A simple little tale of Ralph, his imagination and his friends.

Just a couple of things for you to look at. If you edit, I will gladly up-grade.


His eyes were sunk and wet most of the time. - passive, just remove the word 'were'

She worked at the main tea shop and ... - teashop

"() Like John Keats' odes. - need to remove a space.

Beth had a jolt. Bell Joy was her! No one would think that she, with the tray full of tea cups could write just one verse. - a little arkward.
Try:

Thanks for sharing, and good luck in the contest.
Regards, Pete.

    Thank you Peter for checking my work. I corrected those nasty details. Except for teacups, (2 syllables). I wrote some of the sentences with tea place, cups. I Hope this is OK.

This is a quirky bit of creative fiction. nice metaphors, descriptions are clever and colorful, the sequence has a neat ear friendly cadence to it as it follows the linear path.

A good effort methinks.

Good luck in the contest

Well, this silly story, truly is a silly story, with a silly story line, and silly characters, and animals and ponds that talk. How silly - how good!
Well written and fun to read.

The first line, is that correct or should it read:

What you would [would you, instead of you would] say if I make up a tale with just

Good luck in the contest, and warmest regards

amada,

hello again to you. Ha! I really liked your one word syllable story. It is cute, has a light air to it and you told it well.

I did find words that were 2 syllables, but still...to write one this way does take imagination and creativity and you did a GREAT job.

I also thought you chose a fun title as well.

Great contest entry!

    I was trying to write fun in another medium I don't usually do. Scared of dialog! But I am trying to travel some varied paths this year. It's great to have you as a supporter of my work. Me too, I'm happy to meet you and have crossed paths.

It's a very good story for using one syllable words in such. It has a sorta... poetic feel to it, the wording and flow of words just seems to fit poetry. What I don't understand is why you have "two stories" in this one piece. I think just one would be useful but that's just my opinion. Still a good silly, one syllable story

    Thank you for the comments. Frankly, I run out of inspiration for Ralph. Sad. I love this kid, originally he had a sis, dad and mom but were passive to the story.

To amanda,
A contest entry depicting a young boy named Ralph.
He loved to visit his friends at the fish pond like the frog, the swan, bees the flowers even the ants just to play and get away from the pathetic ways of his parents.
But his adventure with those that enjoyed the reading of certain well known people soon helped Ralph forget and go back to his mom and dad.
