Chrissy,

This was a very fun offering - with some awfully HARD words! *YUCK!* But I think you did really well and told a fun story - I'm glad the zebra/horse was accepted - sends a cool message....yes?

BTW, I wouldn't count off for it, of course, but some will:
Your font color makes the reading rather difficult. I might suggest using WHITE for the font? (Or just boring old black...)

Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest!

Hi there,

A great response to the challenge. See, not that difficult at all. lol

You did a great job with this and managed to dispense with them all in the first verse. Turned this into a meaningful piece a with a good message to boot.

Great job.
G

-Very interesting artwork for your poem.
-Thanks for the author notes.
-Quite a list of words you got, but you did a good job with them!
-Creative style and story within the set of poems.
-A few things that stood out:
-The first stanza is very good:
* "His look Neo-Classical not right"
* "This caused a great fear to the herd" (difference often does this in many situations)
- Good message in the conclusion:
His mother said "stop all this fuss"...
He really is just one of us."
