Oh, missed this one, Yvonne. I'm so sorry about that. But here I am reviewing this very funny poem. I love it and it is so very well written. I hope I don't miss out on the next one. All the best, Ulla:))(

This sounds like a good game of swashbbuckling pirates Yvonne, always used to be a favourite with kids now I suppose they would play it online. Enjoyed your Villanelle. Cheers

Anyone who can write a villenell, (modified or not) is my hero.
You've done a spectacular job with this one. Your repeating line doesn't sound forced and the poem flows smoothly which is a compliment for a vilenelle.
Cute story with an even cuter ending.
Take care and have a good week!

So, this is a follow-up poem to the poem, "Sailing Away." I must go back and read that one. I love your artwork and felt your follow-up poem was well crafted. Thanks for posting. Great job.

This modified villanelle, Sailing Away Again, has the proper formatting to the point where you have revealed the playful and fun ending. Fun to read.

Enjoyed your fun imagination poem. This time you used this very challenging villanelle form. I like that the boys use piraty/sailor speech. I'm sure she'll let them "take to the seas once more" in their room.

A Villanelle has always been a challenge for me. You have done a great job with this one. To do a child's poem in this form is an extra challenge. Usually things get a little confusing ion a Villanelle, but this one reads very understandably.

I love you fun villanelle for the club challenge, Yvonne. Your slight modification doesn't detract all from the complex form. You did an awesome job. I like the great rhymes and smooth flow of lines. Your image choice is perfect, too. I know kids will enjoy this fun tale. I like how the pirates think mom doesn't see them, yet she does. This is a great follow up to your first part.
Respectfully, Jan
