I enjoyed our gnome poem. I think it is a good entry for the contest. It was humorous and had a light-hearted, childlike quality about it and it flowed well. I wish you well.

This is a very cute poem. I'm sure children would enjoy having this read to them. A few of the words might have to explained to five year old but that the way the learn. Good job.

I love gnomes!(Who doesn't)

I found it a bit distracting that you used some punctuation but not all.

See, Marvin he's the dinner guy>> See, Marvin(,) he's the dinner guy

Now, Marv, he's got a cousin, Jake,>>Now, Marv, he's got a cousin, Jake(.) I think a period is more appropriate to prevent a run on, although there are no periods, so... lol Also with the othe rname followed by a comma.

Love 'snatch-watch'!

Cuz some things should be between buds
Like our secret handshake>> the rhythm felt off in there two lines.


Love the revelation at the end that the narrator is 5! What an imagination. )

This is cute, for sure. The lack of any punctuation except commas was super distracting for me but the story and rhym was great. :

Best in the contest and stay safe.

Deb

What a delightful story for children. It would be fun trying to catch one of those gnomes when he comes out of his hiding place. It may take years of vigilant searching.

This is really neat and creative. A well written story poem. Although I'm not a fan on gnomes I writing is clearly evident of a well presented and polished piece. I like the format and colours you chose to help it stand out. The images are well described and vivid.

This work has reached the exceptional level

"We both heard my dad say one time
His son had quite the flair" I love the kid's interpretation of 'quite a flair' when Pop was probably telling the story to another dad.

"Look through his girly art" An interesting way to tell it. Well done!

"It's quite the job at five years old
But, hey, we live like kings!"
What a great ending!

Loved it!

The author's words are engaging, descriptive, interesting and creative.
The reader found this poem to be exceptional with lots of surprises throughout the poem! The theme of this positive is very creative. And the artwork goes very well with this poem.
Hope you are having a great Sunday!

It sounds like a movie waiting to be made. It reminded me a lot of Toy Story. I loved it and I can see kids loving it. You could even do a little series or childrens books from these.

A very well-written adventurous poem for little children having so many gnome friends will keep them busy for a long time. And to hold all the secrets save will be a big task too.
