I'm so glad I made you laugh. I love to write funny poems. It's about all I do write, I'm just not a sonnet kind a girl. Thank you so much for the great review. It made my day.

reply by Marie Foster1 on 18-Jul-2018

You're quite welcome. I am honest to a fault and have learned to skip some reviews so as not to step on too many toes. Your poem was such a joy to read.

reply by the author on 18-Jul-2018

I too skip reviews as some things are rather bad and I just don't know what to say and I don't want to discourage them. I had to learn a lot so know how they would feel. I have been told my work is predictable, boring, average. That hurts, but the same post will get great reviews. So I just think it depends on how the reader views things. I am glad you viewed my work as fun. =} I love to make people laugh.

Oh, that mean old gnome getting you into trouble and I bet he is laughing about it too. He is such a trickster.

This is a fun story. I like your tongue in cheek approach to the imaginary cause of your troubles. Or is he? I think I see him hiding behind that tree over there.

Yes, he is a very bad gnome. =} Thanks so much for the great, fun review. Rox

What a fun, upbeat poem. I particularly like your last line. I wasn't expecting that. I also like the way that you said that the gnome is probably up to no good.
Rhyming couplets was the perfect format to use for this cute story. To me, it seems less formal than other rhyming patterns.
Nice job.

This is cute, lighthearted, and fun. We need poems like this because some people are just to serious. You've made it in to quite an adventure and I enjoyed reading this well written adventure. Well done Roxanna!

Just how sneaky is your little garden gnome, Roxanna?
I only ask because it might not be the gnome that's peeking in at you through your windows at night.
Know what I mean?
Take care,

~Dean

Oh Dean. You really know how to charm a lady. Believe me, only a serial killer would want to be peaking at me at night. =} But then again, I'm kind of fond of serial killers. Thanks so much for the read. Rox

I guess that's what one gets for being the only one to spot this naughty,, nasty, pasty, wasty, crazy crone of a gnome. They think you should be committed to the home for the criminally insane. Well done, Rox, an excellent couplet rhyming gem, blessings, Roy
