Comment from LIJ Red
I remember writing a swap quatrain for some challenge, and having a fit making it sound anything like speech when the phrases were switched. Excellent job here.

Thank you. It's hard to get started, but then it kinda falls together.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the buccaneers on a cruise in their little boat. Their only aim is to have fun until they come back from their adventure. They will soon continue the adventure when they are in dreamland.

So true, but first they must rest for their next 'trip.' lol. Thank you, Sandra, for reviewing.

What an excellent swap Quatrain, I just found out what this form was and this work is wonderful, as it seems very difficult to be able to reverse lines as you have and keep the rhyme scheme< I have kept this one for further learning, very well done and best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Comment from Thomas Bowling
This is an excellent contest entry. It will probably win. Here is a strange but true fact. Pirates didn't wear eye patches because they lost an eye. On some ships, the entire crew wore an eye patch. It so in case they had to fight at night. They could remove the patch and immediately have night vision.

I didn't know that. You're a wealth of information. Thank you for telling me. I love anything to do with old seaman and ships.

Phew!
Cheers, Damommy;
> now that my mind is totally twisted and discombobulated when trying to figure out just how this poem was written?
>I can give up and decide just to entertain myself with just reading your poem and having fun. And I'm glad I will.
> Now then:
> I was delighted and then my mouth was exercised with trying to ripple words, so my lips and tongue are delightfully and rhythmically formed with each word dancing with every breath I took and breathed out.
>A very innocently congenial piece of poetry that is definitely one that can make a child dream of a candy filled landscape of fluffed shapes animals on a multicolored road.
> A great lullaby in so many words if arranged for music.
> I really enjoyed this very much, Damommy, and you're very talented.
> Take care and have a good one especially because you just deserve it.

What a fun, uplifting poem that is sure to bring smiles to many, Mystery Author. Your swap quatrains are in great adherence with the rules. You used good rhymes, great meter
is evident, a perfect picture that's sets the overall tone, & great dialogue to make it like readers are right there on the boat. Great job & best wishes. Jan

Comment from Ann Marie Anglin
This is marvelous! And very tricky. Way beyond me, lol. Great job. I wish I could write witty, rhyming poems like this. It's got a nice happy rhythm, too. This would be a great addition to a book of poetry for children. All the best, Ann Marie
