This is another very cute Whitney poem you have penned and you are almost done with the challenge. This is very cute with very cute words. I love the art work you chose. Blessings, Teri

So what will you write now, Debra? Don't tell me you're not going to miss your whitneys. I will.
The last line of this one is super fun. What better way to rhyme with numb?
Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Maria :) Thanks for the lovely review - glad you appreciated the last line! I suppose I will miss the Whitney's, but other forms of poetry ARE available! I just need to get the Whitney rhythm out of my head and I'll have a go at something different!
    Just a query...! Did you mean to award 4 stars with this review?
    Best wishes as always, Debra x

The artwork you choose is perfect match for your write
It captured my attention from the start To be truthful to you I don't know what it means
Will please help an old lady out
It wasn't until I read the authors note I knew what Whitney meant
The older I live the more I learn

    Hi Cookie :)
    Penultimate means 'last but one' or 'next to last'.
    Thanks for your feedback. Best wishes, Debra :)

You can do it, Debra, we all have faith in you! Considering I reviewed these out of order, I couldn't even screw up the prophecy. :) Nice job once again, my friend.

Well with the end in sight, you're tearing down the home straight! Love the rhyme in this one and final line had me grinning like a cheshire cat, you hum and do the octave scales so very well that I am sure that the last one will be the icing on the cake or the tape on the finish line!

This Whitney, The Penultimate Whitney, seems to be drawing on the very last of your resources to get it up and running. Can there be enough left for one more?

Dare I even try the Whitney? You are queen of Whitney poetry! I crown you now!! I am working on the Nonet and Duotrain right now. Those two styles come very naturally for me.
All my best and compliments,
Sally xo

Come on now, Debra!! You're this close, you can end with something even MORE sizzling than "dum-de-dum-de-dum-de-dum"!!! This did give a good laugh though, I have to say. xo

Hi Debra. Your choice of the Whitney has been perfect for the NaPoWriMo challenge. I like this one promising "finish ahead." It signals that we've accomplished our goal. Marilyn

This looks fun.I would like to try my hands on it too. There is no weight in this poem, just merely for the fun of writing it..I wish to learn the art of writing short poem.It is easy to get carried away in writing, especially a person like me. I shall try it, definitely...for fun like what you did Debra.I am forty going to fifty.Have 7 boys and a proud grandma on the 20th April to a baby boy...You have a beautiful family...
