I really like the aaabcccb rhyme
and the cadence is perfect for reading aloud
I love your sense of humor, which has me laughing through each line - I never realized you were both tall and acrobatic besides being poetic - I think I'm in love. LOL
excellent alliteration in vile villains vicious
and damsels delicious
and others
whatever that means - I'm laughing hysterically
Oh, your stanza about the gymnastic bombshells bonking the young priests is too wickedly funny :-)
You sure have me sold that I want to hire you to write me a story poem :-)
And I love the list of reasons someone might hire you
This is just fantastic, Steve :-) Brooke

Brooke, thank you so much for the great review - I appreciate it and the six stars coming from you is an honour...
As it happens, I do have a nice ghosty tale coming up for the 'story in a poem' contest. Wanna buy a sure-fire winner???

Comment from RalphNater
This is a really well written poem. It's a unique idea and I absolutely love the second stanza. I mean they're all good but I really like that one. As it turns, I'm getting paid to read this lol.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
You're hired. For Heaven's sake, you're hired!! LOL Seriously, this is really great. Your "resume" would send some people running for the thesaurus. Your word choices are powerful. Wish I had a 6 left! I'm looking forward to more of this.

Comment from KiwiGal
Hi/B'jore from Cordes-sur-Ciel .. and it is a little piece of heaven on earth. I'm at the foot of the village, minding a chateau and its chiens, chats et chevaux (got my own little place). Hope to stay long-longterm. You poem has struck a nerve - I'm for hire as well (free house but no income).
And speaking of your poem .. if it's possible, I think this has to be your best yet. It covers everything/everyone/every scenario, is very clever and erudite. It deserves far more than this site can give it.
One day I'll put something down myself; when I've stopped walking the dogs, mowing, weedwacking, riding, weeding, hotwire fence shifting and panting (although the weather has been very mild up to now .. it's just climbing up to 33 this week).
So happy I logged on for a brief moment. You're always werf it.

Hi, nice to see you back! I take some time off and the world (or FanStory at least) goes mad. Moyra Mouse has vanished into thin air, Blue Pixel is taking indefinite leave and no sign of you either....
Anyway, we are now ensconced in our little (freehold) house in the country just out of Whangarei. It has been a crazy six months and continues - I could match your list of jobs and then some and also trying to look after in-laws while working at kiwifruit pruning to make a bob, although officially unemployed.
Weather is au contraire to yours - first decent frost yesterday - try pruning kiwifruit when your fingers are wet and numb. Place is beautiful, house was a dump - working on it. Chickens are coming soon, vege garden may have to wait till Spring.
You haven't missed much of mine - too busy/tired. Have a good ghosty story-poem I've been saving up for contest at end of month.
Chateau sitting sounds nice. Enjoy.

Jenni (Moyramouse) has 'retired' from FS. She's gone on to more meaningful groups and is really stretching herself. Doesn't miss us at all.
I'm surprised you've not been snapped up teaching .. unless you don't want that any more. I keep up to date with the Herald ..NZ has really been having a hard time of it re weather. All good though - ABs just scraping through on 14 men. Send me your street address (Message) and I'll look it up on Google Satellite. You can do same - or I'll send you a photo..

no turning back! What a pleasure to read an if I
might add, your can consider yourself hired...You

a poetic genius. Very clever and entertaining.

This is a very different type of poem than any I've read before. I don't think it's very easy these days, but it would be nice to make some money at it wouldn't it. Good luck :) Tina

Comment from jgirlie152
Wow, interesting poem. Well done, and you didn't miss an act of writing for which you might be for hire. Don't we all wish we could pound out a verse and actually get paid for the blood, sweat and tears we sometimes use to create the perfect poem.
Thanks, I enjoyecd it.
