I like this, Yvonne. I have never seen this form before.
You did a great job with it. I like the picture you selected and the presentation.
My daughter had the same thing happen. They started with two that quickly became a herd. She has sheep that don't need to be sheared. They raise them for income and meat.
Well done. Nancy:)

I love your title and the story your poem tells.
You made me think of Far From The Madding Crowd.
This is a really beautiful poem, Yvonne.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for reviewing, Maria.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is very well--written, in an appealing style. You have made good use of specific details--some humor, too--to describe the behavior of the
sheep before and after shearing and the human's reaction to HIS haircut.

Poor fellow didn't know what kind of shears to buy. hahaha. Thank you, Janice.
Comment from Patty Palmer
This poem was done with a different kind of poetry that I'm not actually familiar with. I am so learning so much from all of you! Anyway, I really enjoyed it. I liked the rhythm and the rhyme. I laughed when the guy ended up with a lot of sheep and then had to shear them all.

What a fascinating format - which you always use the form so well. Enjoyed the story that you told about the growing of a tiny herd. But how did the farmer get his hair clipped along with the sheep?

His wife was angry he gave her pinking shears to shear the sheep. Thanks for reviewing.
Comment from Thomas Bowling
After they have been sheared, sheep look like drowned cats. Not that I would know what a drowned cat looks like. While my parents were out, my younger brother decided to give the puppies a haircut. When my parents returned, they saw the mother and her puppies with crewcuts.

Comment from PoemsOfDD
Damommy, what can I say but I really enjoyed this entertaining and lighthearted poem. Not only did I have a woolly grin on my face (do people really say that?) I chuckled out loud at the end of the third stanza. Very funny? I thought this a well crafted, clever and creative inverted refrain poem. I cannot help but shower you with a six : -) ~DD

OH MY GOODNESS -- it's a poem that introduces the world to YODA-Speak!! :) :) Sorry, that's the nerd in me, Yvonne, but that's where my brain went on some of those 'final phrasings' .... :) :) This is really cool, though, I've never seen it and I'm adding it to my 'try some other time' collection! :) Thank you for sharing! ;) ;) Yvette :)

Thank you for this fun review.
Comment from Janilou
Clever blending of the words and verses. I am in awe of poets who can create such masterpieces! I am better at writing stories. :-)
This took me back to my time living on a rural property in Australia many years ago, when I was given two lambs to raise, Charles and Gwendoline. Although Charles wasn't the father, Gwendoline did go on to raise her own babies. :-) Nice memories.
Great poem.
