Cute, funny poem. Chasing a racoon is scary---I should know. We had a problem with one hissing at my dog. Anyway, Harry, can you let me know, if you have the inclination or the time, how you went around capitalizing your lines? I know you don't use punctuations but some lines are capitalized and not others. Just curious. I have a lot to learn about writing poetry.

    Well, thank you Shanbreen for your review. I really appreciate it! Well, poetry is so subjective, but when it comes to capitalization - some poets use all caps at the first word of each line. Some only use caps on the first word of the stanza. So, it really doesn't matter unless you are entering a contest. Some ask for certain ways to capitialize. So, I look for that. I hope that helps.

Aww this is fun! You've put such personality into each character. But my favourite one of course has got to be Freckle. He's got his priorities spot-on! More adventures of these three please? Well done! Debbie

A fun and funny poem to read this morning. I can picture the three out at the fair. Sounds like a fun day for the trio. I'm sure you enjoyed writing about them too.

Blessings

Thank you for putting a smile on my face with the antics of these three friends. Nothing more fun than a country fair with cotton candy. I enjoyed this lighthearted piece.

This was so much fun to read and I want Freckle to come visit my house! He can have all the bones he wants because he is the bestest boy! good flow and rhyme throughout and just left me feeling happy, which is a nice way to be left. Thanks for sharing.

Well, Freckle sounds the most together of the trio. All he is after is a bone whereas the other two want things that are hard to come by. And I know you like to rhyme bone with cell phone but it doesn't make a lot of sense. Anyway, you tell a tale with flair and if you keep it up you will win the big stuffed bear at the fair.

    Oh, there is always a message. You just have to find it.

    Oh, I see. There is more depth behind the poetry of one Harry Craft.
    I'll have to look deeper next time.

This is a cute little poem, a nice story, and some good rhymes. I think it would benefit from a bit of re-working to make the rhythm a little smoother, but the idea is good. I enjoyed it and like the photo as an illustration. Best wishes!

Thank you for your fun poem. It made me smile, which is just what I needed today! I had a dog like Freckle. She liked to chase squirrels AND ice cream cones that I would hold for her.
