i love the story you have told within this poem
i like how you have expressed speech in this poem between a human and a gnome
its also a fun poem and I like the rhyming within this poem
it also flows very well and is easy to read
im not sure you need the line about gnomes being really very small maybe you could re word this or change this line to say something about the gnome that stands out more
but very good poem and interesting to

I thought it was a well told little story. A lot of humor in it. The flow and rhymes of this poem are witty, and fitting. Good write. I don't see any corrections that could be made except for maybe finding a picture that might help stimulate the imagination a bit more.

    I'm glad you liked my little gnome poem. All the gnome pictures looked like ads for travelocity. I couldn't find a good one. Thanks for reviewing.

Dear Cindy,

A fun poem with sage advice. I never will invite a gnome home. Excellent rhyming and flow. If I want to see a gnome where should I look.

Warm regards,

Winslow

LOL, this is precious. I loved the story and it was fun to read. I loved the rhymes and they weren't forced like so many on here. And I liked the rhythm and the flow. Great job my friend.

Great fun.

Love your ending:My woeful words you must believe,
He never, ever wants to leave.
He had me fooled, I think it's plain,
We never did get that rain.
Gnomes are imps, and imps can curse;
I wouldn't want to make things worse.
So should you chance to meet a gnome,
Never, never take him home!

I must admit, I have taken home a gnome or two in my life. LOL
Hugs, d

    Yes, there are a few people who could have been turned into gnomes for this poem. I didn't think of it at the time, but the reviewers caught it. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the great review.

A story with a moral in this engaging write.

Good end rhyme and a rollicking if uneven meter; but it's the amusing, whimsical story that impresses.

Best of luck in the contest.

    I'm surprised how many people have mentioned a moral. It wasn't intentional; it just sort of snuck in. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the great review.
reply by juliaSjames on 02-Mar-2013
    LOL

    The moral is in your final lines - there are many "gnomes" lurking around trying to guilt someone into taking them home.

    peace and blessings, julia

    Yes, I suppose there are a few people who could have been turned into gnomes for this poem. I wasn't thinking about that when I wrote it.

    Yep, there are a few people who easily could have been turned into a gnome for this poem. You have to be careful who you invite in. Thanks for the great review.
