You have a fantastic use of sound in this poem, It is not in my opinion a tongue twister but through the use of simple words make this memorable. Don and Vicki.

Comment from Susan Larson
What a dangerous liking scene. I remember as a teen ice slaking on Lake Erie around the bundled up ice fishermen and watching to see if any of them ever caught anything. Sure looks that that ice would be hard to break through! Cute poem!

This is a very cute and very well written humorous 5-7-5 you have penned for the writing prompt. You used very good descriptive words and very neat imagery that went well with your words. Best wishes in the contest. love, Teri

Hello,
I totally agree with your humorous 5/7/5 poem message, "Don't play on the ice." Also, I agree with your notes "Laugh and laugh often you will feel better!" We do need more humor and laughter in our world today. There's so much sadness, and pessimistic feelings in our world today by adults and children. Today, people are so unhappy about our world's chaos and the spread of covid-19. But, who wants to play on the ice possibly to lose their life? You poem said two of the three fell through the ice. Really? Funny? Maybe? I hope those three frump peasants learned their lesson. Stay off the ice. Fish elsewhere. Nicely written and great artwork.

Comment from Alli Johnston
This was a humorous poem and the word "frumpy" fits perfectly here! The first line sets the tone immediately for the rest of the poem and I think has a good chance in the contest. Good luck

I am a perfectionist, and I like rhymes, so to me it is a shame that there is no end-line ice rhyme on the first line. Having said that, you have created a rich story in only 17 syllables, with good description.

Comment from DSchlosser
I would not envy those two peasants. I bet the catch that day was only by the one frumpy fisher that had to pull them both back on land. It's not a bad poem. I'd love to see a photo of a few grumpy old men fishing out of their shacks or wading in water.

With my experience with the snow, I can imagine how the ice will be. Nice one dear, I enjoyed the rhyme and the flow.
All the best.

Some breakthroughs are applauded, clearly some are not. When walking, skating running , whatever on thin ice, one should tread very lightly and make as quick an exit as possible. Do do anything else is to court disaster.
