I like your presentation with this illustration and the stated poem in the correct format. Partly because I had myself drawn amoebas as a band and band members.
And that the language, besides bringing back memories seems so apropos.

I see the Amoeba is back and doing well. Silly as it is to write about, the poem does work for the Lanturne Poetry. with the syllables set just right. Good Luck and Best Wishes in the Contest! Sherman541

The work reminisces the extraordinary nature of Amoeba; highlighting it's doggedness as a one celled creature.

Excellent work! Keep the flag flying!

Hi Bill, another fun poem and with the added bonus that you spell out in blue what this is all about. The now famous 'amoebe'. Wonderful. Good luck in the contest. All the best. Ulla:)))

OK. I take it this one must have been in the Corps. Any guy that tough would have had to have been a leatherneck. Let me guess, he had a buzz cut and a tattoo of his mother on his left bicep. Right?

A clever approach with the bold-faced blue letters spelling the name. I'd say 'ba' too if one cell was more powerful than me. Assonance with one and tougher.

Another clever poem Bill.....would have been interesting to see if the readers would have worked out AMoEBA without your help.
Good luck in the contest

I could pretty much guarantee it would go 99? unnoticed. Thanks, Mitchell, for giving it a peek. Bill

Isn't it strange that those little critters can be tougher than humans. I really like your presentation. It's very eye-catching and adds to the humorous tone of the poem. I wonder if you mean MoI instead of MoE? Moi is French for me. Also rhymes with Bah. Very ingenious idea for the Lanturne Poetry contest, and good luck.

Thanks for reviewing this. I capitalized, colorized, and enlarged the font on the letters of
A M O E B A. I actually thought readers would see the ME in the moe, but you're the closest, seeing a French me, moi. Happy day.

reply by judiverse on 27-Jan-2018

I can see where you wanted to get the MoE in. Maybe you can think of a different context. Excellent entry. judi

Okay, Bill I really like what you've done with your lanturne poem. you've even got the circular handle for holding it to light the dark. And so carries on the exciting life of the single celled amoeba. His determination is second to none so he gets top marks.

Thanks for the smiles.

Gloria
