    Thank you Rebekka x for the inspiring reviews that you always seem to be giving. I am very new to the writing world and am currently writing a novel. I joined this great site for two things. Inspiration which I receive daily through both the reviews and the prompts. Secondly I need the critiques to help catapult me forward and help me with editing, especially punctuations this is a weak area for me. Thank you for all of your honesty and loyalty to help those improve. God bless!

A buck ten in foney money for mumbling a little about a five/seven/five that counts out right and even made me grin?
Now that's excellent.

Haha wow the in-laws must not be too happy about your picture. This ending was a great surprise- funny too...classic dread of the in-law's arrival. Well done. -Nina

Ha ha ha! This is a funny haiku with a perfect/surprising satori.

Ooh, I hope your in-laws aren't really "evil nasty things."

This is a fine entry for the contest. Best of luck! Alana

Just finished reading all the entries. This one was the last. I was about to pass on voting because I saw nothing unusual or creative enough to vote for. Until this 5-7-5 of yours. The twist in the last line is priceless. I hope people will read all of them and cast their vote with this. Definitely the "should be the winner." I'm off to place my vote.

Like lawyers and politicians, in-laws are usually good for a few laughs. Better to laugh than cry, right? This clever 5-7-5 gave me a chuckle. Thanks!

This certainly does not paint a pretty picture of your thoughts but I'm sure not only you but many others feel the same way. LOL

In-laws are the vane of marriage life. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read.
