A wonderful picture challenge. It was clever with humor to boot. Showed great style with words and had a surprised ending. I loved your funny, humorous poem. Well done.

    Hi Mary, Glad you liked this and I have had a frw say it should have been in the contest but it was just a poem for this picture challenge and I am a bit late getting it out but am so happy you thought it worthy. I will just have to write another for the next contest Cheers Christine😃

Hi, Christine

= I love your story for the selection. Excellent!
= The beauty of not having strict posting rules, it gives you the freedom to post when you can.
= Makes if more fun, and not like a job. (*<*)

= Since you used partial punctuation with quotes, was it your intention? I noticed a lot of missing commas, periods, and uppercase after speech tags.

= No matter, great job, my friend.

The rhyme and rhythm is very good, but there are a couple of lines that sound awkward in order to fit the rhythm. "And then I said 'I must away' and thanked them for the lovely day." Overall the imagery and narration makes this a fun read.

Very good. Loved the rhyme and meter. And it told a really good story.
The poem flowed nicely and I must confess, while reading it I wondered how it would end
The ending was cleverly crafted. And I didn't see it coming but it really was appropriate

A great poem with a shock at the end. I didn't see that one coming. Too bad you missed the contest. I think you would have won with this one.

A very interesting and imaginative poetic story with a grand twist at the end. Very well written and inspiring tale. I think the art work complements your poem perfectly.
