I don't think you have to end it with the word you started with but I always try to because I think it is the challenge of the piece. This one is smartly done and very cute

Brilliant . Pure Steve brilliance
The picture of loopy scooty scooted me through the poem.
What is the poem about?
A conference where bill Gates pushes for barcoding every citizen .
Vaccinated or eliminated.
Any excuse to monitize and excorsise .
1984 is not a fantasy any more.
Enjoyed the hopping.:-))Z.

    Thank you.

    Bill Gates? A lot of nonsense spouted about him on social media. I wouldn't believe 99% of it.

    Stay safe.

A full circle loop from beginning to end Steve and a fun little tale about Skeeter the skunk. Your loop words all worked well in this amusing read. Loved the artwork,
cheers,
valda

Ha! You actually made a Loop-de-Loop. Very impressive. And you told a loopy story to boot. Somebody had his Froot Loops yesterday morning!

Ol' Loopy, aka Skeeter, reeked of success . . . until he didn't. Perhaps he shouldn't have tampered with his act. Audiences are notorious for turning on a skunk who turns on them.

Steve, my hat is off to you. May your stinker come up smelling like roses!

Peace, Lee

    Thanks, Lee. Never seen a live skunk and yet I think this is the third poem I've written about them. Can't beat that mix of cute and stinky!

Hi Kiwisteve... I love this loop! It's so full of fun with the silly, snouty, little, skunk that lifts his tail and is deserted because of his end, in the end! :) You even remembered to loop it all the way around from the end to the beginning again! :) Well done :)

Love it and so sorry I am out of 6:( this piece deserves 10 stars. Thank you for making me laugh, you have a winner here. I love the dynamics and how you build action with each line. I love this stanza :"uter than Skeeter the skunk.


Skunk was a Loopy invention,

Invention to spice up his act;

Act for the Clowny Convention.

Convention where Loopy got whacked"

I really liked the subject of the poem. Quite a good choice. In fact quite cute. Very good poem for children especially for the younger ones. Who doesn't love a circus clown working with a skunk? Oh and creative title. However it did kinda get depressing at the end. Maybe make the end a bit more jollier but otherwise great job.

    Thanks, Kelly. Glad you enjoyed the fun - ecept for the ending. I guess you would have been even more upset by my first thought, which was to have Loopy hanging from a rafter! 😎😎😎

You did a great job with your looping from the beginning and all the way to the end and back plus you followed the abcb rhyme scheme, too while telling an amusing story. Best wishes in the contest, Steve!
