Good luck in the contest. :P I really enjoyed your poem.

My favorite part is the longest lines:
He looks so suave,
Using discarded napkins for a hat.
LOL!

Hi Roy; thank you so much for the very positive review of my tectractys. It was so much fun to put together this piece to meet both of the challenges I gave myself - 'picture it' and the new poetic form.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it,

This tetractys poem made for an enjoyable, funny read. It flowed very nicely. Comprehensible and suited your picture perfectly.The orangutans emotional reflections are Worded brilliantly. Good chosen words.
The descriptive words created wonderful impressions.

An ape acting like a child. I can see my little cousin doing just that. Great picture, a universal theme, easy to read and very well written. I hope you do well in the contest. I think you will because your words and picture made me laugh and that is the best medicine.

Hey, now THAT'S what I call making the most out of a multitasking opportunity.
Good job!
If there's one thing that can be said about you, it's this...
You certainly don't monkey around when it comes to facing a challenge.
Best of luck to you in the tetractys prompt.

Your Tetractys poem brought a smile to my face. I think we all have those experiences when we think ourselves a 'cut-above' then are brought back to reality. LOL

I once walked through a upscale restaurant with toilet paper stuck to my shoe. (I hear that has happened to others) Oh well...

I enjoyed reading your poem. The image is perfect.

Hi Rubylou, I'm so glad you dropped by to read and review. I'm glad this little poem brought a smile to your face. Thank you for sharing your faux pas with me - I'm certain all of us have done it or something similar at one time or another,

Comment from JanPerry

Good

Very nice, I think the little fellow is mimicking the humans he sees everyday.
I don't think monkeys are suave or debonair. I know they love mischief and stealing food is their greatest whim.
Sweet and simple, thanks.

The poem is very cute. Apes are a long time favorite of mine. You certainly fulfilled the requirements of this contest.
I particularly liked the words you chose for lines two and three.
Good luck in the contest.

This tetractys, Suave and Debonair, conforms to the format, speaks to the picture, and presents a fashion show staring an orangatan with a napkin as a hat. Nice.
