What a great form, and I think you've done it flawlessly. Excellent use of iambic tetrameter throughout. I loved the creative imagery and a light humor.

Excellent presentation and artwork.

Thank you for sharing.

A Slight Underestimation
by damommy

Fine modified Pantygynt poem for the Club entry for the "Before and After" event in "The Fabulous Free Versers Club. Your poem is so cute and true. The early bird gets the worm. Getting someplace early gives time to settle in peace. Well done.

    I'm not sure who won this time. Last I heard, the worm had the bird stuck in the hole. hahahaha. Thanks for reviewing.

Hello Dolly,
I hope you are doing well. This is such a good message poem about knowing your opponent. We should never underestimate your rival. That's a skinny bird which is bigger than a worm. However, that worm was very stronger than the bird thought and really determine. ha ha. Yes, that was quite an underestimation on the part of the bird. This is a cute poem and great imagery. Great message, Dolly. Nicely written.

Oh dear, Yvonne, this sounds pretty ominous. It appears that you lost that final battle and are now finding yourself pulled into a dark hole. not a nice situation to be in. at all! Your poem made me smile. Ulla:)))

I think you should call this a 'damommification' - a new form of your own - and it works well in this amusing story of the worm that turned and the illustration is really very apt. Great fun.

    Thank you. I don't know about giving it my name. Probably no one would try writing one.

Hi Yvonne,
I really enjoyed your story poem, especially the verses with lines of 8-8-8-6 syllables... verses 2,3,4 and 6.
And you have some fine humor, too. The worm is so strong, it pulled the little bird into the hole... thus the artwork! That's pretty cute.
Is there a hidden meaning here? Do we set our goals too high at times, perhaps? When do we let go?
Nicely penned! Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Kimbob

    No, no hidden meaning. Just me being silly. Thanks for a delightful review.

Your poem is awesome, Yvonne. The flow is natural as are the rhymes. The story is told well. I could see everything mentioned because of the vivid details used. There is great pacing and an unexpected ending although you gave hints along the way that this would not be an ordinary fight. You set the scene well and followed through to the end with great imagery. The image is perfect--at least for the worm. Thanks for sharing a fun poem.
Respectfully, Jan

A very well-written modified Pantygynt poem. I also sometimes find when I get up extra early to get more done, I actually do less because of unforseen distractions.

    That is so true. Seems there's never enough time. I often wonder how I got everything when I was working.
