Yes this was a tough one. I very nearly didn't bother and then I got my idea at breakfast this morning which put a rush on it. I just couldn't get past the rattle to where you found the music. Well done.

I didn't write this until after the deadline, I couldn't think of anything. It was a hard one. Thank you, Jim, I will go and read yours in a moment. I'm sure it will be good. :) Sandra xxx

this is a second that I read and I love to read the difference that everyone comes up with.
I love the flow and the rhyme you did for this piece.
I am a cat lover and it made me laugh.
Very good

Thank you so much, Jackie. I didn't see who chose the picture this time. I just couldn't get it together until this afternoon, and I still think it needs tweaking, lol. I'm glad you liked it, though. Thanks my friend. :) Sandra xxx

Great ending. You did this very well and I like that you used the tapping of the stick on the fence as a basis for your verse. I enjoyed this one a lot

Such a sweet poem. Great use of rhyme and rhythm. Fun contrast at the end when the cats get involved. Outstanding work. Thanks for the addition to my bookcase. All the best.

Hi, Sandra. I'm not sure about 3rd line meter emphasis of, 'orchestra', and I don't think you need the possessive apostrophe.

I really like the theme of the little girl's imagination, and the great fun ending.

Laid-back very pleasant and smiley read.

Best wishes, Ray xx

I had a problem with that too, Ray, but still can't come up with something better. I had ...the music played... which I preferred, but had used 'music' in the previous line. I will have another look though. I was going to PM you, are you ok? Thanks for the lovely review, my friend. :) Sandra xx

How about:

'inside her head the maestros played'

I'm fine, Sandra, and thanks very much for your concern, my friend. xx

Thank you so much! I am going to go with that!! xxxx

Great rhythm and flow. I can almost feel the orchestra and hear the band and music playing. Great symphony with words containing a hypnotic beat. Music so sweet and harmonious that when the cats joined in, the discord is so striking against the sweet melody of the Orchestra. Love, love it.

Thank you so much, my friend. I have been busy working on another of my Hedgerow poems, but I have to admit, my mind hasn't really been on it for a few days. I shall get right on it. Thanks, Angie, I needed a push! :) Sandra xxx

Sandra, it is fun to see some looking at it as a musical journey the little girl is on. I took a musical twist to a little. Blessings for a great week, Patricia
