Nan's Gnomes
She never met a gnome she didn't like59 total reviews
Comment from LisaMay
Good on Nan -"Nan never met a gnome she didn't like." I remember moving the neighbour's gnomes when we were kids. Live and let live, I say.
Your poem is a lovely reminder of "it takes all sorts." Gnomes' "grins and smirks" can lighten a day.

Comment from Blue Hendrix
Such a cute and witty poem and I really enjoyed reading it. Way better than getting upset with the neighbors too. This piece had a nice flow, good word choices, and the imagery especially with the gnomes was perfect.

Comment from Gail Denham
Cute poem - unfortunately the folks are asking for problems - placing the gnomes so prominently - there's the story of young people taking gnomes and carrying them off to other places, foreign lands, posing pictures with them everywhere. Few years back, that was in vogue.
Liked the poem.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
How awful! I had the same thing happen to me when I lived in Vegas. I had a flower bed in front and had placed some white garden ornaments of animals and one larger statue of, "The Big Kiss", a couple kissing. One morning, (On my birthday no less) We woke up and they were gone. All except "The Big Kiss". It was laying near the street. Too heavy to take very far, I suppose. LOL Nice Birthday present huh. Good job, Janet. Nancy:)

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I know people like that. I wonder if your neighbours bits and pieces disappear one day, if they haven't all ready! lol. I enjoyed reading your fun poem, even though it's probably a real nightmare in reality. Well done, Janet, I hope there is a friendly solution. :)) Sandra xx

Thank you Sandra for your thoughtful review. My friendly solution was to write a poem although, Nan and the neighbors won't get to read it. I does help me though. :))))

Comment from June Sargent
Lol I think we all have someone like that in the neighborhood. We had one who liked to put plastic flamingoes everywhere...and ladies bending over planting flowers with pantaloons showing. They can be annoying. So that's when the gnome thief is hired by the neighbors...very fun piece!

Thanks June.
I've see to ladies bending over planting flowers. I think I'll stick with the gnomes that keep reappearing. LOL!

Comment from dragonpoet
Gnomres are cute if used in gardens where they belong. Too many lawn ornaments could get unsightly. Like some houses with too many Christmas decorations can get gaudy.

Everything in moderation. Too much of anything can just be too much.

So true, sometimes enough is too many and things begin to look a little out of hand. Very nice rant and love the last part even though I feel no one got rid of them

Hello Janet, I must have been half asleep. I thought I was reviewing JLR - a male member. I thought it a little strange - it was not his kind of posting, but forgive me for the error. Hope all is well with you after the trying time you've had with the flooding. Warm regards Dorothy xx
