Comment from Miss Sherry
Great play on the words of the chosen theme. I was pleased to see this is by you, my blessed friend. You know I love critters and could just imagine those eyes staring up at you. Well, you decorated the whole area -- even if there was nota cord anywhere free. Great story! Best of luck in the competition!!

Hooray! Thanx for your read and review for our girly Mikaela -- her dad loves her anyway!! ::) LOL! :) Glad you enjoyed, Sherry -- have a good remainder of the week, ma'am! :) ;) Yvette
Comment from Bill Schott
This title-first story, Cut the Cord, has a whimsical tone with just a moment of faux panic to exhilarate the scene a bit. Nice.

Comment from country ranch writer
Yeah! She had to save the baby raccoon's and the other tress she just couldn't part with for one reason or another. Guess her dad had the last laugh.

Wow, Diana, thank you so much for those lovely stars, ma'am -- brings a bit of sunshine to the otherwise gray, rainy week over here! :) ;) I used to help my dad cut the firewood -- we didn't even run the heat in the winter time...just the big fireplace and electric blankets in the bedrooms! ;) ;) Pretty sure snowflakes today couldn't handle that...LOL! :) Anyway, Dad used to laugh at me when I avoid this tree because of a nest or this stack of felled logs because of the muskrats or the coons...I just saw the listing of titles there and my brain went ... 'YEAH - we can do that'! ;) ;) The ribbons were an inspiration of my imagination! ;) ;) Take care over there on the coast! ;) ;) Yvette
Comment from Ricky1024
"Cut the Cord' was well written.
Reminds me of 'Hanging on Moms Apron Strings.'
There were no Errors as this Flowed well...
Adjective and Objective Contents were Excellent.
Descriptive Measures aligned perfectly.

Good afternoon to you, Yvette
Oh, this is just so lovely. You know, Yvette, I often think that children see a world that everyone would truly love. Be interesting if, in the future, kids were to be in charge :)
I loved this, and your chosen picture is so apt. I assume that you may have seen the pic then wrote the poem.
I wish you luck in the contest.
kind regards

Actually I had to go searching for that crazy picture, Tracey...made me nuts so that I almost gave up! :) Yeah, never been known much for the patience thing - LOL! ;) So glad you enjoyed and I LOVE your comment about the world through children's eyes...I think we might see a definite shift in priorities, just to start with!! ;) :) Thanx for stopping in with your unique views -- I do so enjoy them! ;) ;) Yvette

Always a pleasure. :)
Comment from Brett Matthew West
Well crafted and enjoyable read. Crisp writing, believable characters. If somebody does not care for animals like "Mikaela" did there won't be any.

How right you are, sir! ;) ;) Thanx for dropping by for the read and review today, Brett -- so good to hear from you on this one! ;) Be sure to stop by any time ... always got iced tea ready for 'sit and read' on the porch! ;) ;) Take care and have a great week ahead! :) ;) Yvette
Comment from LisaMay
I enjoyed this story because the writing is crisp, the 2 characters are sympathetic and believable, and the play on meaning in the title is clever. I am just like Mikaela when it comes to protecting animal habitat. When I was younger I was told off at an orchard where I was working because I refused to rip the nests out of the fruit tree branches... how could I? they had baby birds in them!

Of course they had baby birds in them -- knuckelheads! ;) ;) I used to help my dad cut the firewood -- we didn't even run the heat in the winter time...just the big fireplace and electric blankets in the bedrooms! ;) ;) Pretty sure snowflakes today couldn't handle that...LOL! :) Anyway, Dad used to laugh at me when I avoid this tree because of a nest or this stack of felled logs because of the muskrats or the coons...I just saw the listing of titles there and my brain went ... 'light bulb'! ;) ;) The ribbons were an inspiration of my imagination! ;) ;) Take care out there, Lisa -- and have an awesome week! ;) ;) Yvette

I do so love an open fire to stare at and dream.
The light bulb moment is delicious isn't it... whether writing or reading.
I hope you are having a wonderful week too. xx
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Aww, that was lovely, Yvette, I know of several girls, and some boys who would be like Mikaela and not want to cut the trees down when babies are there. My hubby always checks our hedges before he gives them a trim in case the birds have started nesting. I liked your story, my friend, good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xxx
