Ha! Not many poems this long can hold my attention the entire way through, but this is certainly one of those examples. A very enjoyable romp.

This is an adorable poem. All her excuses work for me. The rhyme is perfect and the meter skips merrily along as a fun poem should. The picture is a great match to the piece.

Thanks for the great review. Borrow my excuses any time.

I like this. It rhymes well and has good rhythm. It's a bit of an exaggeration but I think that's what is supposed to be. We all have those rooms. It's very well done.

Thanks, Judy.

Only a tiny bit of exaggeration - they weren't really Harry's specs! I mean, he's fictional....

Harry Potter's black-rimmed specs,
Uh-oh, Tyrannosaurus Rex...
Quick, slam the door, let's not go near;
Perhaps I'll clean that room next year!

I have a pretty good idea who wrote this, and their user name begins with a "K". It has your trademarks all over it, my friend. It's so difficult to hide when your poetry is as popular as yours is, LOL...

That being said, it also employs the same frolicking, even rhythm and smooth tempo which we've all become so accustomed to.

It certainly sounded as if that house needs one very good cleaning!

Well done, "K", and best of luck to you in the contest, although I doubt very seriously that you'll need it. ~Dean:}

Thanks, Dean.

Only three entries in this contest - I have noticed that numbers are way down lately - too many contests perhaps?

No one likes to post anything unless it is on a Sunday or Monday, when everyone's six star reviews are replenished. Yes, the contests in which I'm involved also have a poor turn out. Oh well, they're fun regardless, right? :)

Hello author, Very good, very cute. I think this is a poem that we can all relate to in one degree or another ... when procrastination gets dusty. I especially liked:

That spider's web, strong as a net -
And there's the blighter spinning yet.

(This made me laugh and reminded me how a halogen light bulb singed one of my cob webs. The house actually smelled as if there was a fire - lol.)

A fun poem, and if you should ever find Tyrannosaurus Rex, send him my way 'cause my granddaughter would like a real dinosaur. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. Smiles, LateBloomer

Thank you.

We have a lot of industrious spiders here. I have another poem called Bungy Spider about the one that spun a web on the wing mirror of the car - he travelled all the way into town and back - what a daredevil!

That is a real assortment of characters and things to find behind one's door. Good humour, use of rhyming. Well chosen words to convey your message. Most enjoyable, good luck in the contest. Faye

Please let me know ff you happen to come across a gold and silver watch that I misplaced sometime ago:) I love this lively paced fun poem and think it's very creative in content. It's certainly a room filled with well known figures of society. Good luck in the contest.

'Behind the door' is a little like 'Inside my mind', I think - you never know what's going to pop out of there! There's a whole collection of watches....

Superbly written and put lots so smiles on my face. So much stuff behind that door. Loved the spiders web with the whippet, all those people, the tea bags, lollipops, tyrannosaurus Rex...... And so many other brilliant things. Loved the ending as well. Can't imagine what will be there next year when you decide to clean the room out again. A brilliant entry and good luck with the contest.

Hiya - good to see you getting active on FS - welcome, even if it's a belated greeting.

Thanks for the fun review. Behind the door I a little like my mind perhaps - all sorts of weird stuff in there.

Comment from JM

Excellent

Quite a history lesson you have included in this charming poem. Great rhyme scheme and I enjoyed your tale about what sounds to me like "hoarding". I guess I should clean out my two closets. :)
