Wonder what Luke is hoping to get out of this. The crystal makes me think of the wicked witch in" The Wizard of Oz" Catchy set of questions at the end--like in a soap opera.

    You are the first person to mention Luke. Yes, he has an agenda. I am so happy you like the questions.

Hi Debi
...fun read. I love your imagination and gift for rhyme. This is a great adventure with all the trimmings. The wonderful alliterations and enjambments helped build a fascinating setting in words...it was a pleasure.
My best wishes, Bill

    What an encouraging review. Thank you, Brooke. I am hoping to get the story done in one more part, but it's feeling like it might take two. It has taken on a life of its own.

Tight, engaging story told in rhyme. It flows very well and nothing seems forced. I hope you continue with it soon. Your author notes about the meter and stresses were very helpful to me as I'm still learning them!

    Thank you for the kind comments and encouragement. I hope to have part three posted in a day or two, if my crazy busy life will just cooperate.

The contrast between the fairy story format and the modern idiom of the dialogue sets up a constant source of amusement. That and the regular rhythm both conspire to be delightful. The trochee suits this well, giving the tale a jaunty air.

Hi deb, well. this is a wonderful story in a poem, I'm afraid I missed the first part so i will look in your portfolio for it, this section flows like a mountain stream, it has great description and imagery with wonderful rhyming and rhythm, I look forward to the next poem in this series.

I see the rhymes and hear the meter and the notes make me think this is all part of a plan, and the tale trots along
briskly. Excellent.

Very good, w.j. debi. I am most impressed with this style of poetry. It flows so nicely and it's a joy to read something a bit different. Although, there have been some poets writing them on the occasion. I will have to try one someday. Thanks for sharing.
