The Human Tape Recorder
He's Only Six but He's...43 total reviews
Comment from Joan E.
My, my--your son is already six! He makes a neat tape recorder model too!! Thanks for the details about the modified Rondeau Redouble--I've forgotten them already, but regardless, I really enjoyed your poem. I admired your rhymes and metaphors, particularly the "Vocal songbird," along with your use of alliteration and the worthy repeats. Well done! -Joan

Wow Joan thanks so much for the sixer rating and thoughtful review. He really IS a vocal songbird and barely takes a breath.
A bit like Mum. LOL
Cheers and much appreciated.

Aww, he is so cute and look. He looks like he is pleading his case. LOL
Nice poem and great form and meter.
Excellent word choices to get across this message of your little tape recorder.
I have two little ones and they are at the embarrassing age where they say anything. Oy!
Loved your author notes too. You cracked me up with arse. :)

What a darling. Yes, children are good mimics of our speech and habits. Sounds like you can't get a word in edgewise.
Words --his nutrition-- best metaphor. Let him talk. You don't want to starve him. :-)

Oh yes he is a darling...and the other little creature (the girl) is a right princess. Between them both I cannot get a word in and I am usually the chatterbox.
I feel sorry for the hub.
Cheers and thanks for an encouraging review.

Hey you,
Here I go again (for the third time) with a review of your absolutely delightful poem. The first time the phone rang, I got distracted, and started over. Second time, FS just deleted the message before I could send. So, I guess I'll make this one shorter just in case. . . . First of all, this poem just scoots along so merrily and gives us a real picture of that little guy of yours, who is, by the way, the spitting image of his lovely mama. This poem reminds me of the little boy next door who is four and has a memory that won't quit. He also tends to repeat his parents a lot. Sounds like your Jack. Looks like you are getting lots of excellent reviews for this, as you should, and that you are working your way back to FS. Thats good! You've been missed, Sweetie.
I look forward to seeing more from you.

What the???
You hexed today sis? LOL
Sorry, but best to be hexed with me than anyone else...haha
At least I am WORTH typing a response to thriple times...
Loved your review darling (many warm thanks and gushy hugs - only one for Bill LOL) and do you WEALLY fink the little man looks like his old lady? I think sometimes but mostly he looks like handsome Daddy...Awwww.
Yes the reviews are choice...I always get a good response when I write about the kid.
Maybe I need to do THAT more and swear a lot less.
He'd like that. LOL
Cheers and I am trying to appear here with a little more consistency. I HATE being away, it sucks but the website is coming along and I need a bit of respite inbetween.
My poetry saves me...I honestly don't know what I'd be doing if I wasn't writing now Connie...
hmmm, hang on, yes I would...I'd be doing the dishes, maybe a spot of ironing...(not a f**king chance LOL)...I may even make it out to the clothes line! Haha
But, those bloody folded clothes would still be hangin around.
LOVED your review and YOU. Miss you too honey.
Cheers Phillippa

Comment from Val Crisson
Ah, yes I lived with a "monloguer" for most of my life. My son was exactly the same way. Memory is a gift, but can be a total pain in the "arse" as you explain. Wonderful poem, which clever, patient,and funny at the same time. Good Luck with this jewel of a child

LOL Super review and it sounds like its coming from someone who's been there before.
Yes memory is a gift. Wish I had one. Unfortunately I only have an affinity for remembering ANY digital code or numerical sequence. Just nuthin else! LOL Can't even remember a phone message I got yesterday.
Cheers and thanks for a sterling review.

Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi C.P.,
This one is a gem! You chose such clever words throughout so it's difficult to list my favorites, but I particularly loved the last two stanzas. Monologues no imposition and chronicled with mind's permission is a hoot.
Your son is a real cutie!! I figured he was yours before reading the author notes. He'll probably get back at you when you're old and gray. Beware of hidden cameras, lol.
Hugs,
Lou

Oh he's already done the hidden cameras thingy!
LOL
I'm kidding hun!
Thanks for a sterling review, and you must surely be right...Paybacks are a right bitch or alternatively a pint-sized human tape recorder.
Choice review girly, thanks a mill.
Cheers C.P.

What a great tribute to your son. I have a five year old we call a parrot. I really liked this poem as I felt like I was reading about my own son. It was fun to read and made me smile.

Haha...I had thoughts of calling it Parrot, Mimic or Broken Record as these surely equate to the same.
I LOVED your sixer review and choice comments. MANY many thanks.

Comment from GWHARGIS
Funny how kids can remember how you promised to do something six months ago. They can tell you exact words used, what you were wearing that day, what song was playing on the radio while you said whatever it was. But tell them to hang up their jacket and they've forgotten it by the time they get to the coat rack. Enjoy your little tape recorder, arse biting and all.
