I wonder if Michaelangelo had the same love for his statue?. Nice humour with good rhyming made it a joy to read. Best wishes for the contest.
Bless you
John

Hi..Neat write and I can feel the energy of this sort of invisible fiery force field around the statue protected by your wrath..heh heh.. It greets visitors, hear the giggles, he shocks everyone with his nakedness. That's awesome. I'm wondering how did you have it shipped over? Cheers.

    Hi Benjamin. Thank for reading my poem about David and yes he is fiercely guarded a bit of a joke in my household. I bought him on a holiday and actually carried him as hand luggage in 1977 ( the photo probably make him look bigger but he is about 60cm tall )and solid marble with the artist name carved in the statue so I think by todays standards he would be quite valuable. anyway I am very fond of him . Appreciate your time to read this and for your comments Cheers Christine😃

    You're welcome! I love this website! I have entered two of the story contests. They are challenging, which I love! I have been writing outside of my comfort zone which I love! It opens up a variety of stories to write. I want to be an author, so this is very good practice I feel like!

Shame you can't use him as a grave marker. Seriously, he'd be with you and remind visitors of how it proudly stood in your home.

Fun contest and lots of people are enjoying writing about obscure things.

A fun writing prompt. It has a story to it and I can feel the admiration that Statue David holds. A comment if I may. The second to last sentence there is a spelling mistake with the word "Ans so...." 'And so.....'
Well done ant thank you for sharing. Good luck.

I love Michaelangelo, the Art of Florence, the masters, I deeply respect your wish to preserve your beloved statue. Good touch of humour, excellent rhyming and topic for your poem. Couple of things, in the title, line 1 and last line it should be statue. Verse 3, 'Cause (abbreviation of because) Good luck in the contest. Faye

"Ans" in next to last line should be "And".

In notes "travelling' would read better as "travel".
"we" should be capitalized.
"everywhere" should have a comma after "everywhere".
"on" should be "one".
"houses" should have a comma after it.
"broke it" should have a period after "it".
"So" should be capitalized.
"bit" should be "but".
"thinkI' should be "think I'.
"drwa" should be "draw".
"poem" should have a period after it.

Well written tribute to this statue you cherish. Typical Mum stuff to have one special thing that they consider theirs that everyone else knows to leave alone OR ELSE! Should, with these edits corrected, by a good contest entry.
