The walrus and the starfish seem like unlikely friends, but there they are, hand in hand. They talk about all the things they have to think of, like why stars hand high in the sky or why pigs need to fly. So true, there are many things we'll never know. This is great and children would enjoy the whimsy in this and the pairing of the walrus and starfish. judi

This was a wonderful picture of the walrus and the starfish, damommy. I really enjoyed your words simply because they showed that the starfish didn't really have the answers but they had each other-true friends.

Hello Yvonne.

this would be an excellent poem for children. Your message is clear enough, but there may be some words you would need to change to make it understandable for little tykes. Children do well with constant rhyme and meter and your story would appeal to them, I think.

Ah, this poem is simply a delightful read either for children or adults - some of life's great mysteries aired, but no great need to dwell on such matters when we have the most important component 'our friendship'

Hello Yvonne,
What a delightful poem. What a blessing to have friends that we can share our deepest thoughts with. We don't always need answers to our questions, but having someone to bounce ideas off of is precious indeed. Well done gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Starting the year with your magic wordsmanship!

This is just wonderful as to how it has one go on about the many wonders/situation/conditions around. However, in the end, it the friendship of the two that they can control/make better.
Brilliance through and through!

Happy New Year!

A very cool poem. The rhyming and flow are just fun to read aloud, and the message makes a lot of sense in a very fun way. I really like all the verses, but the one about the pig is outstanding. Good job.
