Creating a masterpiece at the dining table.12 total reviews
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written humorous poem about the artistic mess of a three-year-old that will be a masterpiece when it is marketed to the art lovers as unique art.

Comment from LyndaS
..a squelch of ketchup.. This is such a cool little phrase. I liked this story about turning a kitchen disaster into a work of art. It just hops right along and was fun to read. Also well presented with the perfect picture. Good luck in your contest. Lynda

Comment from Michele Harber
This poem is adorable, and a lot of fun to read. I love the originality of the story and, of course, those last two lines that really bring it home. (I've definitely commented that some artwork looked as though it were done by a three-year-old, yet it was worth millions. Now I realize the artist might really have been three!!) You definitely made me laugh, as the contest requires, and I wish you luck in the voting.

Thanks so much for your terrific review and good wishes, Michele.
So much modern art is perplexing.

I agree totally. I remember a school trip (more years back than I'd like to say) to the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. One entire room was filled with a semi-rolled drop cloth with splotches of paint on it hanging from the ceiling. I wondered why I had to go to a museum to see something I'd seen my dad create anytime he painted the apartment.

Haha... pity your dad didn't get rich with his "creative art".

Had we only known!!!

Dear Author,
A fun poem and lots of great verses! My favorite was: "Let's sell this tablecloth to the Tate Gallery"! I loved your description of colors on the tablecloth and your picture does it justice.
My best in your contest entry,
Deborah

Thank you for your review Deborah. Modern Art is confusing!

You did a great job with the contest prompt, Mystery Author. I enjoyed your poem and had a good laugh. Your lines flow well with good rhymes and a funny story. In the end the child has the last laugh. Good job and thanks for sharing. Jan

I hope the kid's parents put the money from the Tate Gallery towards an overseas trip for him/her for an education, rather than sending to art school where they seem to learn a lot of rubbish. Or maybe they aren't being taught anything there. I am an artist myself but am amazed at the often mediocre and poorly presented paucity of ideas that are on show in modern exhibitions.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is really well-written and comical. You have made excellent use of specific
details--all the colors, shapes, and smears. Due to my lack of appreciation for--
and understanding of--MUCH modern art--I got a real kick out of this.

Thanks for reviewing, Janice. I think most of us are perplexed about many of the weird items filling our galleries.
Comment from moongirlwriter
This is a fun poem with lots of "flavor". It's written with obvious fun and silliness when there is a large family. I came from one of those families. The fourth stanza, last line: . . . ."you now are making me" I think would have a better flow if it was, (now makes me cheery). The artwork goes perfectly. :))

Did you ever sell any family tablecloths??
Thanks for reviewing. I agree that my rhythm gets a bit muddled, trying to keep a syllable count. I will revisit it, thanks for your advice.
