"run like..." is much quicker to say than the fancy new word "Absquatulate" so I am not likely to be adopting it any time soon! I loved the graphic too.

I love this one Author! This is a very funny entry for the contest... it's the first I've read, but it's a very funny entry! I love the use of rhymes here with 'pate'... I do love that word! LOL

So, run faster than it would take you to say this word. It definitely does not sound like its definition. Fun find. I hope it brings you to victory in the contest! xo

Rightly, in this plot, the obscure word absquatulate is shown used to express the word meaning nicely; well said, well done. Write to inspire, readable for years -- DR ALCREATOR

-Good artwork for
your poem.
-The syllable count is
good, and you have
chose a good, obscure word, too.
-Effective use of rhyme and imagery.
-I think you have the right
idea in the poem at the end-
"Absquatulate!"
-I think you mean plate in line one?
-Good luck in the contest.

I like it! Thank you I must have read the dictionary in absquatulation as I completely missed this vocabulary word and it is rare, but it does happen when someone teaches me a new word. I have not used this nor have I heard it used. So kudos to the author in this contest!!!! Good luck and I will be voting if I get a vote! Cheers, Fonda
