Hello Yvonne.

I have seen the name Pantygynt but have never been in touch with him/her. I only review readers that review my writing.

I can't think of a less fun situation than being pulled down the worm hole BY A WORM!!!. I chuckled at the story in your poem.

    I'm so glad you laughed. I loved the picture. Pantygynt is Jim Bartlett, and he's a very nice man. He teaches poetry and I've been in a few of his classes. Plus, we've become friends. Right now, he's writing a novel that I couldn't get into, but lately I jumped in the middle and am enjoying it. He lives in Wales.

    That picture was an eye grabber. I had to look twice at first. It fit the story so well.

Such a clever poem! I didn't realise it was from the birds perspective before the end, which made it better. A little plot twist! Excellent work with this one

What a great story!! Thank you for telling me about the "pantygynt" poetic form and I loved how you told the story from the bird's point of view! Loved the picture, too. There is a story poem contest and I wish this was in it. I did email you the P&P question and answers this afternoon.

    I got the answers. Good ones. Yes, the Pantygynt form is fun to write. I've done a few over the years. I changed this one a bit, and Jim said I should call it 'damommification.' I dont think anyone would use it. hahaha

This poor bird! Although, this poem does show the importance of in-depth and thorough planning! Lovely poem with wonderful rhyme and splendid rhythm!

Tis such a lovely poetic style, the Pantygynt. I have always enjoyed the form and found your telling of the tale of the wrong hunter hunting the bird. You have to watch out for some of those worse because they are very tricky. LOL

Great job, Yvonne. A fine modified Pantygynt and a terrific tale to boot.

Very funny and cleverly done. I think I may never know if the early bird gets the worn, since I've been sleeping in as of late. The picture included is hilarious and adds to the amusement.

"A Underestimation", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. An excellent example of never biting off more than you can chew! I look forward to seeing your next post.

Even with the slight modification, Yvonne, I think you did rather well. I loved your picture, it was so cute. Your words definitely captured the planning, the goal and yet also the despise of the situation. Well done.

Too bad I am out of sixes, Yvonne. You certainly rate one for this comedic poetry. It is very cute and clever, my friend. I especially liked these lines:

" I pull, he pulls. Oh, mercy me,
I'm hanging on despite
it's harder than I thought 'twould be.
My hunger's turned to fright."

Happy Thanksgiving Yvonne. Bob
