I enjoyed your joint effort in composing this poem. The artwork is perfect.

The many places that were explored in the poem add to the enjoyment. I liked all except finding penguins in Greenland--maybe reindeer but no penguins--they live at the South Pole. But since this is fiction, maybe you intended that part to be as written.

Good job on the rhyme.

Thanks for sharing.

    Thank, yes, Fez knew there were no penguins in Greenland, but put them there for the sake of his story. Kind of a combination of fantasy and poetic license! Thanks for the review,

This sounds like it would be some wonderful explorations. As usual you and Fez did a great job together on this. I can still tell yours from his but they are becoming very similar. Next time you should do the first part just to see if it throws us off:)

    I did that once, but it didn't turn out so well. Thanks for the suggestion, though, and the review!

Would be quite an adventure to be an explorer on the high seas living the life that takes you from one place to another. A well written story indeed.

This is a sort of nonsense poem not like jabberwocky, with nonsense words but normal words to create nonsense ideas. All those places in a giant boat twelve foot long? Got to be nonsense and Penguins in Greenland, it'll be polar bears in Antarctica next. A great piece of collaborative fun.

    Exactly what it was, nonsensical with a historic twist! It's summer here in Texas, and time for nonsense. Thanks for reviewing!

I enjoyed traveling this exploration with the two of you. Your right, peace of mind may be one of the best treasures to find. This was another fun adventure and an enjoyable read.

Another wonderful collaboration, guys. Each country held a treasure and should they have been found for the first time, I'm sure your coffers would be very full!
Great rhyme and meter throughout. Well done!

That was a lovely trip around the world, Rhonda! I wrote a poem about wishing I were a parrot on board a pirate ship, travelling the seven seas! Loved all the things you intend to do on your explorer trip, excellent rhyming and great adventure. Faye

Hello Rhonda, Another fine poem between you and Fez. I think its funny its funny how you sealed in the 12 ft. boat. Most of the fish a lot bigger than you. Good luck. gamay

    Thank, you, gamay for the wonderful six star review. Yes, it was a small boat, but it grew larger as we traveled. Lol

    Thank you, so much for the review. Now in reality, I'm not much of a daredevil, but going over a waterfall and splashing in the pool below does sound fun...maybe a small one, anyway!

A nice travelogue. All this in a twelve foot boat ? You and Fez are brave explorers.
A good fun poem and a fine bit of collaboration.

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Yes, the boat was small in the beginning, but as we grew rich, we got a yacht.
