Exceptional

Good Sunday morning,
star poetess! This is such a
cute rib tickler in a concise
poem. Dear friend, some of
your writing reminds me
of the great late writer,
Erma Bombeck. She could tell
a story so humorously, just
like you. Bravo! xxoo

That's a huge possum - whew! It's only a picture filter. Yes, I remember that time when the "brain is playing possum" for boys and girls at different times of their adolescent years! Congratulations on the win!!

Helen, lol, this is just a filter from the app , Snapchat. I have dozens of photos like this myself of me as Marie Antoinette, a bald man, you name it.
They are loads of fun. And yes, I even have a possum on my head.
I will send you a few for a good laugh.
I hope you know how much your awesome review means to me. Thank you so much for your very kind words for my poem. They are so appreciated, my dear friend!

Hey Debi...

Yikes! A domesticated possum? There's a new and different thought. Kinda scary. Kinda crazy. Kinda fun!

Adding the disclaimer was a good move.

Hope all is well with you and those you love.

Blessings...

Hello Debi.
Congratulations on the win and the fun 5-7-5 poem!
Nice addition of the three rhyme and the interesting photo.
I once caught a young possum in a chipmunk trap.
Relocated it to our wildlife area.
Best wishes.
Robert

Boy does that ring a bell! I have experienced spells even as an adult when my brain decides to just go on vacation. I sit or stand there as if in a trance, wondering how did I get here? Where in the heck am I? What do I do next? How do I get out of this predicament?
May I invite you out of my brain? LOL.

Amusing and witty poem. It's amazing what you can do with such a limited
prompt. It also makes a serious point. Keeping young people enthusiastic
and involved in education is a challenge.
