Well done Yvonne. Your artwork and your beautifully flowing rhyming poem left me smiling. I could i.agine reading this one to young children and each verse, another picture. Loved it. Cheers

This is a delightful children's poem, reminding us of all the questions children ask. Your picture is well done, much better than I could do. I love the closing lines:
"If I find out, you can depend
I'll share it all with you."

I really liked this poem, and the drawing is brilliant! It's perfect for kids and full of
character, just like the poem. Well done of this fantastic piece.

Hello Yvonne.

This poem about the starfish and the walrus is quite good. You used enjambment which I always believe is a well done addition to any poem. It helps the story and the meter flow.

This is a great kid's poem. There is actually some very good information and your stanzas would provoke questions in a child's mind.

Well done.

Robert

Wow, you are artistically very versatile, but then that doesn't surprise me Yvonne, although you are primarily a free verser you can can cleverly turn your gift to form poetry so very well, I'm impressed by your manifold abilities. All this and niceness too, blessings my friend, Roy

Truly delightful. What a wise old counseller the Walrus is. Would it be possible for me to get an assessment?
What a great message this tells. It shows the value of friendship and having someone to talk too. I feel better after reading it.

You asked readers not to laugh at the artwork. As one who can't draw a good stickman, I'm not laughing. This is an absolutely delightful poem--entertaining, skillfully written, conveying a point through the use of great examples.

Hello Yvonne- I really enjoyed this delightful poem. Perhaps I'm still a kid at heart. Curiosity is a wonderful gift to have; it leads to discovery. I once wrote a blog post about bagpipes. Who the heck thought of a bagpipe for music? What did they use initially- a pig bladder and flutes or what? In any event, I felt that this piece of work was six-worthy. The art was just an added bonus. Well done gal.
