Very creative and humorous poem that includes the old game sorry as a way to decide which king took over the kingdoms. It is a very clever idea then you wrote it very well. Bill

I remember playing that game as a child. Thank goodness a kingdom wasn't at stake! I loved this story poem, so well told, it kept my interest the entire time. Thanks for sharing.

Ha, love your satirical approach to the crown of glory and those who play the game of Sorry.

A brilliant story in a poem written with superb metre just perfect for telling this type of epic war.

Excellent idea, so unique and you played it extremely well. What a fun read today.

Best of luck to you with the Contest Committee. :))

    Hey, Gloria, hello. Thank you so much for the great review and stars. Yeah, I wanted to come up with something ridiculous for them to play for their kingdoms. That, and wanting to lead up to the goofy last line. Lol. I'm glad you liked the piece, Gloria. Thank you again.

I enjoyed reading your contest entry. Your topic is unique and well-expressed. I like the progression from the first realization of trouble brewing to the last words of the conclusion. Your rhymes and flow add much to this poem. There is good imagery. I could visualize this as I read it. Thanks for the informative notes, too. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

An epic write and I thought at first it was a chess game and I am rather fond of playing chess, but this is an entirely different game and I enjoyed the fight to the end, love Dolly x

    Thank you, Dolly. Yeah, I used chess as a game between kings before. This one was the silliest idea I could come up with for a game between them. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

Thanks for those memories of family SORRY games.

Truthfully, I rarely review any long verse or fiction post. However, your artwork intrigued me very much. So I read your entry from top to its final end. You created an interesting battle scenario, which our world leaders might consider rather than all the saber rattling and rhetoric thrown in our faces.

It is a good game.

Mark

Well, this was a gret exercise in mental observation and ability. But it was exciting. I admire your mental ability to think,and write about it. As well as the ability to create. For sure, a very different edition to the usual stuff.
