Hey kiwi steve...great poem, super rhyme and so cleverly concocted.
Congrats on the placing in this contest with a fine entry.
Meter was perfect and I loved the punchline.
That Frankenstein sure is a cunning assembly man. Bet he'd go great in a factory job. LMAO
Cheers P

PS Are you kidding? Some didn't GET this. Geez.

Thank you for the very kind words.
Yep, some people still don't get that the monster wasn't called Frankenstein - I believe we can blame Hollywood for that!
Have a nice day.

A Horror / Thriller ABC Poem. It came out great. Creative topic. Very descriptive with haunted vivid imagery. Excellent narrative poem.

Comment from Pierre Francis
A good poem, with a driving rhythm and strong imagery. It captures that signal moment in the life of Dr Frankenstein, when he "threw the switch" and launched a legend. Loved reading this work. Keep it up!

G'day Steve, sorry about my tardiness in reviewing, I am in the philipines and having major computer issues. I liked this scary little piece mate. I wonder how many young people know the story. The movies used to frighten buggery out of me when I was a kid. Good luck in the comp. Cheers Fez.

Comment from Sally Carter
You are so good!
Really I don't want to comment on this line by line and spoil its delights. Sometimes it has to be enough just to say it's a shining gem. Few people can write this kind of deceptively tight light verse as well as you. Love it.

Thanks, Sally - I appreciate the praise coming from you.
When I started this - first two lines written - I was still thinking it would be humorous, but couldn't come up with a good punchline so went in the other direction instead.
Glad you liked...

You are just so good that this, I award you six. I love your imagination and sense of humour (if one could call it that). Thank you so much for
giving me something to think about.

Hey, I was trying to keep my sense of humour out of this, although I did have a couple of quirky ideas to start with...
Yes, I did try to write an ABC that was a bit different from the rest - glad you enjoyed it and found it worthy of six stars.

Thanks, Giddy - I admit I deliberately tried for something a little different - let's see if it catches the judges'eyes...

Comment from Starlit Ink
This was a spooky and unexpected entry. I was delighted at the creativity of choosing the subject of Frankenstein. I love scary stories and ghost stories, so this is one of the entries that I like the best. Using rhyme was great also, and very effective. Good luck with a fine entry. I want to give it six stars but it won't let me.

Nice rhymes and a sweet take on a chapter from the old story.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled; to its feet a nightmare stumbled. so dramatic - my favorite line.z.
