Comment from Kazzawin
Brilliant!!!
Had me laughing so much.
You had me at 'McJeeber'...what a great name.
You've told a witty and amusing story within a poem that has a great plot and deserved ending for those pesky crows.
Good luck in the contest : )

Thank you! I can't even remember how I came up with the name "McJeeber," but am so glad you appreciated the humor I tried to put into the story of those "pesky" crows!

I thoroughly enjoyed your poem, and rest assured, a wide audience of young ones will too. Love the way you characterized Farmer McJeeber and the green witch. My favorite part: the hex, of course. Wonderful rhyming and flawless cadence. This poem is just a lot of fun to read aloud.

Thanks so much for your feedback! I did a series of poems for a Halloween event a few years ago and this was one of my favorites. Thanks again for your feedback!

Sinister, I like it. When reading this I took away an old fairy tale of a surly old man and a wicked witch (that's just what I felt when reading it). It was well written, flowed perfectly and the imagery was great. Thank you for sharing and best wishes in the contest. NB

Thanks you so much! It was fun to write. I only wish I had some artistic talent to add illustration!
Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
This speaks how in a novel manner in a strange attitude the old farmer gets his revenge, after planning made, in course of execution, fate helped the way, fantastic; I liked.

Thank you so much! While creating, in my my mind, I had visions of old farmer with fists clenched in anger as the thieving crows circled above him with their takings! Lots of fun to write!
Comment from Janilou
Absolutely loved your poem. I read it out loud to myself as I sat here to get the rhythm of the sentences correct. I liked the way you changed it around, and it made it very interesting reading.
It certainly tells a story, and I think you have an excellent chance in the contest.
I didn't see anything in need of correction or editing.
All the very best in the contest! Very clever indeed.

Thank you so much for a lovely review! This was one of a series of Halloween poems I had put together several years ago for a special event. I do enjoy writing poetry, but I've never really thought seriously about submitting for review. Since I've recently retired (after 42 years with local government) I thought I'd spend some time doing something I really enjoy! Thank you again!

I liked your poem, the story is really interesting, especially the part about the witch. I like the way you gave it a spooky and ancient feeling, very clever. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

Thank you! I wanted this piece to tell a story but to be a little spooky, too, since I was writing it for a Halloween event. The witch just happened to play the right role in creating the irony of the plot! Thank you again!
