You always find the cutest and most artsy picture and your poem is delightful. I like the playfulness. I haven't read "Eragon" and got an idea what's about from your poem.

You've convinced me this form of poetry is fun and I would like to write one, too.

I thought this was a wonderfully creative poem. First, the image was perfect. And I love how you used a first person voice to share this enjoyable and creative story. This was terrific!

What a fun posting in Robert's Cube 16 format. I thoroughly enjoyed your fantasy rhymes, Yvette...and the picture is definitely outstanding. You might think this is a bit silly, but I find it to be very entertaining and I am glad to have been able to read it. :-)

I'm never likely to read fantasy books featuring dragons, so reading your poem was a gentle exploration of fantasy-land in a comedic vein. The toe-stubbing troll and the shrink's pantaloons got a laugh. Last laugh was on you, tricked by little bother (typo omission intended).

Hi dear Yvette,
As a most imaginative and enchanting swooshing into the
world of anywhere, and everywhere that would escape even
the seasoned of bards, you give new meaning to the realms
of make believe and sublimely witty, whimsical, mythical and
all senses floating and whirling in childlike surrender and awe.
Quite an enterprising and entertaining take on this Cube 16 format.
Loved it and the gorgeous pic too. Thanks for this lovely escape!
Love, blessings always! Ronni

Wahoo!
Virtual six, dear Yvette!
Oh! I so hope that Robert's CUBE poetic form is kind to me when - and if - my muse taps me on the shoulder and says, "You can do this!" May need an amaretto sour ... just for inspiration! :)
Your Cube offering is absolute a delight to read, and it is just plain pure fun!
Wizards, dragons, fairies, too!
Oh my goodness!
Whoopie-tee- do!

Thank you for the inspiration and smiles!

Hey Yvette.

That was quick. You got right into the moment with the 3 cube configuration. Since this is the only style I am an expert on, I give it a six.

You also told a whole story, so in my mind it is a winner. Way to go.

    Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed my nutty-blonde fancy flight here, Z! And yeah, it was a bit fast, but when I got started thinking about it, it just started to happen.... Grab the pencil: sometimes you just have to let the muses out to play around - lol! I'm so glad this one pleased the inventor (wink, wink)... you be sure to enjoy your Thursday, sir! ;) Yvette

That's quite the imaginative ride you took us using Robert's Cube16 form!
I laughed at "a leprechaun met with his shrink." Lots of fun here!

Question about rhymes:
In your second stanza you have "from" "young" as your rhyme. Is it a near rhyme?

    We're gonna call it a near rhyme and go with it, Helen -- when read aloud it flows/seems to rhyme just fine. I just set out to have fun with this one, wasn't really pushing the technicalities, per se. :) Thanx as always for your review, my lady - so glad you found a smile... ;) ;) Yvette

This is a delightful poem, such a lot of great senerios about that key. I saw the movie Eragon and loved it, was so disappointed they didn't make the other movies. Of course, I never read the books so I didn't know what I was missing. I loved your poem. Thanks for sharing
