Damn! Another six for you ... I can't help it. I read so many poems here, but they do nothing for me. (without offence) I don't say it in a bad way, it's just there is a distinct lack of originality in much of what I read. And because they don't hold depth, that third dimension, I expect to see shine through. Where only a snippet is actually said, and the rest left for you to ponder, the underlying. You never let me down. Marion.

    Marion, LOL. Thank you so much, my generous friend :-) I understand what you mean - I read some poems, that are competently written, but five minutes later I can't remember them because they did nothing to touch me. I am so happy my work doesn't have that effect on you :-) Brooke

    More than happy but sometimes I wish I could split myself in two or three.

Being in charge or the king is seductive, but Sawyer has so many choices--maybe, now he'll want to be an architect (based on his moat-building skills)! I enjoyed the specific details in this tale, like the "million three" and "half past noon," along with your clever rhymed couplets. Hugs- Joan

This one made me chuckle. You have manage to combine many elements here: an amusing tale about a child, a "legend-style" tone/ use of language, and even some social commentary. Great stuff!

this is very well written, brooke, you did an excellent job writing this quatrain poem about the king who thought his thoughts to be the best, and forgot to thank the ones that passed the test. they held the fort and fought the sea, but it was King that found a million and three. good luck in the contest

It sounds as though Sawyer is being well groomed for kingship. It scarcely matters how many kings have to serve them, there always seems to be room for an extra three - as is also the case in a bureaucracy! An entertaining poem with a suspicion of social comment!

Lovin' it! He's a prince of a fellow, soon to be king. He'll be a good, practiced one, since even now he rules his Gramar's heart with but a loving look. :)

A great rhyming quatrain story in a poem and which would be very appealing to children, it should do well in the contest as yours always do, my friend~Debbie
