Hahahahaha that was funny. Well thought out and clearly written. Playful with alliterations on C-words and F-words. Great artwork choice. Good presentation too.

Plenty of alliteration on the 'F' here. Did you know that the 'lune' form got its name frome being shaped like a crescent? But of course this only happens if you flush the thing left or right, so they should not really be centred on the page.

A very well-written lune poem. Make a wish and flip a coin when it lands on its head tails up your wish is not granted, the other way when heads are on top you may start packing your bags for a change.

Fifty-fifty, that brought out a chuckle from me. Nicely done lune for the contest and I love the chance odds. LOL I remember doing this to find a ratio for math class

I enjoyed your contest entry, Kim. Great job with its presentation--the picture choice, the alliteration of 'c' and 'f', the correct syllable count, and your message which is true.

I know many use the left margin for the 3 lines and end up with a kind of crescent moon shape.

Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan

Hi Lovey, I very much like the play on word change in your Line. I think the message is a good one. We cannot just leave life up to chance, we have to make plans.

Best of luck in the contest.

This is clever, Kim. I like the play on words with "change." It's hard to write these short ones and have them make "cents." LOL! Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

You wrote an ode to probability and outcome, that's great stuff. You also made a lune poem make sense, which isn't an easy thing to do. Good luck in the contest.

Great job with your lune, Kim. You managed to give us a pun about "flipping coins" and "change' plus a plethora of words that start with 'f' in such a short poem!
