I totally agree! I was robbed of all of the gardening equipment last week. I hope the police catch the fools, but I doubt it.

Anyway, love the essence and picture. Poems is a good contest entry. Best of luck. PP

Thanks, PoesyPoet, for the review and kind words. Sorry to hear about your gardening equipment...I know it's not nice to hate people, but I HATE THIEVES!!!

I love the cute picture. I love the poem. Good reminder to think of the results of your actions. There is always the fear, but most people don't think they will be caught.

Thanks, elliejean, for your review and comments. Yes, i can joke about it, but my family members (like most others these days) have experienced theft and, in real life, it's not funny at all.

This one is a true essence poem with internal rhymes in each line. Some entries have not conformed to the rules. You did a great job on this.

How true that must be in the minds of a thief. This very well written essence poem meets the syllable and rhyming requirements. The artwork is a perfect complement for your poem. Good luck in the contest.

Good

Should have bought things he sought,
but who thought he'd get caught???

In something so short every little glitch shows up more. The meter is off. Like the way you used the ought sound repeatedly.

Great photo for your poem. You followed the prompt well. It has good internal, and end rhyme. And the syll count is good. Most poems with this format do not make sense, they are choppy. Yours is not, great job. Would love to dad more of your work.
