Hello. I enjoyed the moral of your story. I found it a little bit difficult to get through though and yes, I believe it was because of the style of writing and some of the choice of words. This was an excellent try though. Thanks for sharing the story. cheers.

Yeah, were's the back up--helicopters and all? He didn't bring a cell phone? Ipad? Mr. Grylls is smarter than our Jack, I believe, which is why he's got the TV program. Good story and I enjoyed the imaginative adventure. Best of luck in the contest. cvc

I'm afraid a lot of people are smarter than Kayak Jack!
Thanks for the fun review.
Comment from mommerry
this was very well done and the moral gave me a good laugh. I saw nothing I would dare to correct - I sort of wanted to change the word "shore" to "sure" but decided the rhyming needed what you had written.

Thank you - I hesitated over 'shore' but in the end went with this spelling which is how a lot of people pronounce it anyway.

I loved the art work and the words
Were great and written very well.
I liked the story within these words
You should write more.

A wonderful fable in poetic verse. Great rhyming with "nervous" and "Service". I really liked this: "Ouch!
He's suffering from 'stremest dementia." Enjoyed!

Comment from Curly Girly
I'm not sure if poems are allowed in a writing contest or not... but this was good. I suppose the readers will decide. I loved the punch line! Very funny and witty. I think that this would have been a strong stand alone poem. It reminds me of an 'old' man in NZ, who was about 90, who entered into a kayak contest...and had to be rescued! CG

excellent use of abcb rhyme
I love the Cremation - it is a great poem to teach to middle schoolers :-)
your poem has great cadence worthy of Service
I love the rhyme of adventure/dementia
I'm laughing out loud at walrus jerky LOL
loving the internal rhymes and the way they add to the beat
great humor in your closing :-) This is extremely well-composed, witty and entertaining. Brooke

Cute tale and certainly one that children would enjoy reading or being read to them. I wasn't sure if you followed all the rules exactly, but darn close!

Yep, I couldn't make that darn sentence fit into my meter!
In fact only one entrant followed that condition perfectly.

I loved everything about your humorous Northern tale.
Especially the moral to the story. The language was
perfect and it's obvious you are a man/woman of the
North country.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you! Bad guess though - try the other side of the globe entirely!

Well I tried. :O)

I do know Sam Magee as I was raised listening to my dad recite that when it was colder then hell outside. Very well done, six stars and as soon as the vote opens, a vote towards you. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you, Meg
I tried to get some of Sam Magee's internal rhyme going here.
