Comment from Oatmeal
Aussie,
Well chosen words are expressive. The theme is strong. The flow is nice. Your arrangement looks very nice.
I only spotted one small error, nothing to get too upset about-
Emu flew better than (Eagle) in sky.
**eagle
No more problems noted.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,
Oatmeal

That is interesting; another reviewer said it should be a capital letter? I changed it. Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed it. Blessings to you, Kai.

Hi Aussie,
A good bit of fun, some folk legends are amusing in their own way and there is an underlying logic to them which is often quite fascinating in its own way.

I love the art work and the very creative words written.
I feel children would love to read this poem as well. I loved the words
"Goomblegubbon
Brush Turkey"
I enjoyed reading all these words.

Hilarious. I really loved this! I can't imagine a more plausible reason why they can't fly. The aboriginal voice really makes the poem special. Outstanding! Best wishes. Ray.

Comment from Sacred Heart
Love this story. Here those Emu's have
Really strong legs, pack quite a punch.
"Dreaming Time" great way to start off
telling this aboriginal story. Told by a
New Legend or Old. LOL! You to us...Great
rhyme and meter too. A delightful read
my friend. Truly enjoyed.
Take care, Light Love Patty

Hi Aussie.
Legends are such fun to learn about. This one comes through loud and clear in your excellent poem. That is a great picture too. Thanks for your author notes which help considerably.

Hello Chey, Thanks for reading; glad you liked the poem and Emu are not so nice - dangerous to humans. It takes three strong men to capture them. Blessings, Kai.

I love the way you've captured the Aboriginal speech patterns in this poem - it really makes it sound like an Aboriginal storyteller relating an old legend. The rhymes are effective, the cadence is strong when read aloud, and the story is so clever and fascinating. This one's a real keeper, Kai :-) Brooke

Hullo Aussie ....
Well - you certainly won't have any of your reviewers challenging you on your wording and expressions in this interesting old Aboriginal way of talking. I enjoyed reading what you have written and there is just one small change to suggest - that you should have Eagle with a capital letter.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I enjoyed it.
With love from ..... Nanette Mary.
