Comment from Artist Dilemma

Excellent

I am very fond of Triolets, and I like the way you have adapted the style, yot kept faithful to the eight syllable count. It is a great fun story told in a superb way.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell

Exceptional

Hi Brooke - This is an absolutely delightful poem and great picture. You say 2 wildly, wildly modified triolets - well they sound great. The first two lines were a great start to a great poem. Kind regards Dorothy x

Comment from Acquired Taste

Excellent

Brooke - am I the only old soul here - Sawyer looks like Alfalfa from the Little Rascals....yes, I know - never saw them, just read about them in an old book: cough, hiccup, cough!

This is terrific - Sawyer should carry a copy with him so when he sees a therapist - he can pull this from his wallet and tell them: See it's my Mama's fault - even my grammy said so

Jean!

Hi,
A funny read and quite visual. I liked the pov of the child you put in the poem.
It flows well and it has a good rhyming and structure. It was entertaining.

I LOVE THE PICTURE. SO....CUTE. THANKS FOR EXPLAINING THE EXPRESSION 'PRIMROSE PATH' BECAUSE BEFORE NOW,I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. AND YES, I AGREE THAT MOTHERS HAVE A WAY OF PASSING ON THE BLAME BUT YOU WAIT TILL THESE CHILDREN ARE A LITTLE OLDER, THEN THEY WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH SO MUCH! NICE ONE.

He looks nothing but precious and amazed. How can Mama do that to him. Yet it's so cute. Loved the poem. He is really appealing to the world to understand his naked situation with his hair standing up as straight as can be. Loved it. luv jada

Comment from Gargantuan2

Excellent

Well, if it weren't for baths, half of a child's life would be less blameful. I had 4 sisters and 2 brothers and if we were first to the bath we would have hot water... blame abounded. Yet another masterpiece, I look forward to the next.
