A very well-written mono-rhyme poem about the mermaid and her pirate love that made it to the palace to get married forever. The sailor pirate thinks he caught the best wife in the ocean.

This is awesome. I had no idea that mono-rhymes could be so creative. You get the prize for use of creative rhymes. My favorites are marmalade and shade, renegade and trade, and palisade and glade. But then, I like them all. You could have entered this is a poem that tells a story. You really made the most of the challenge. Amazing.

Terrific job on this mono-rhyming poem! You told a great story in a poem and created vivid imagery for your reader. I so enjoyed reading this. I especially liked the imagery you created in your second stanza. Perfect pairing of picture and poem. This was a pleasure to read. This poem deserves to fare well in the contest.

I really like this, it should have music written for it. I am so fed up with the usual written word, this one lifts my spirits.
I found myself carried along on the "waves" and the lighthearted approach to your poem.
Thank you and happy new year!

This is absolutely charming, and a perfect entry into the Mono-rhyme contest. You tell a complete story, spoken through the voice of an intriguing character, using wonderful details, i.e., "We dined on fish and marmalade." Your mono-rhymes all worked well to add to the undersea picture you were painting. The actual picture you chose was a perfect accompaniment.

Hello Author, I really liked your poem, A Course to Atlantis." I thought the story was really good. I do have one suggestion...
As I was reading it, I kept natrually readint the line, "A course to Atlantis I've laid!" as, "A course to Atlantis I have laid!" I am thinking that your meter will be better kept if you break the words apart instead of keeping the contraction in the first and last stanzas.
I really like the story a lot, a fun old tale about the pirate getting the treasure from the sea at last! :)
