How amusing. This funny poem paints a vivid picture of the bank robber getting skunked. The art is perfect for the poem. Excellent. debs

Comment from adewpearl
Strong alternate line rhyming
excellent internal rhymes too
love the alliteration in smidgen of a smirk
Great play on words in that witty final line
Lots and lots of excellent rhymes that end with the K sound - this should definitely do well in the contest :-) It was an easy vote for me. Brooke

Great job with your rhymes. A lot of end-rhymes sounds of K, better than the others I have read and funnier too! This has my vote. Good luck in this unique contest!

This was a real cute poem that even made me smile. The poem folowed the rules of the contest into a poem that was very well written.
Good job and good luck.

Very clever. Good story line. Great internal rhyming, too/It has a lilting rhythm and the k rhymes are good. Very nicely done.!

Dear poet
It's obvious that you have got a mastery over language which combined with a fertile imagination created such an amazing abundance of rhymes. But frankly speaking in this strange display of words I find myself at loss to get the crux of the poem for which I feel quite sorry.

Hey, I loved your tale of Jock and In and rank Frank. LOL! Your story is about as lyrical as any I've heard. Lots of great rhymes and dead on rhythm. Very original and lots of funny stuff. "His smiler just don't work." LOL! I loved it. Best fun I had all morning. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you so much for your positive review - makes up for the lousy 3-star one just before it! I think he must have had his sense of humour surgically removed, or perhaps he is just against cruelty to skunks!

Yeah! Takes all kinds. Good thing we, writers, have thick skins, uh?
Loved your funny poem, and I very seldom award a six, unless it's a poet whose work I constantly read and admire. This one struck me. I think I was reviewing blind at the time. Well done, Steve.

Very well done, given the constraints of the contest. There was humor, the rhyme scheme was very nice, the poetic liberties taken added to the character of the poem. The K sound rocked from title to the end. Keep them coming.
