Is this a true story? It really does prompt so many questions. Did Johhny ever score a recording contract or is he like so many Fanstorians still awaiting the call from an agent.
This was well-written. It left the reader wanting more. Congratulations on winning the Phrase Maze competition.

Thank you for this great review. Not a true story, but representative of a lot of people who struggle to make it to fame. I appreciate you reading my poem. :)
Comment from Alexandra Trovato
Oh my goodness! You took on this most challenging writing and did and extraordinary job with it! This is very creative and clearly flowed from your imagination to the final product. It looks as if you've won this contest. Well, of course you did! It was fun to read and review!
Best wishes,
Alex

Comment from RodG
I am impressed with HOW you met the requirements of this contest and the NARRATIVE itself. You characterize Johnny Gage very well and even evoke our sympathy for him. We hope he someday achieves his dreams. Congrats on your win! Rod

Thanks, I really appreciate you reading my poem. :)
Comment from Thomas Blanks
This narrative poem used all of the required words for the prompt. While rhyming poems seem to have gone out of style, I have a preference for them. I guess I am a dinosaur. I think your poem was the best of the ones I reviewed.

Oh my goodness, what sort of restaurant is that with cockroaches running about! Your short story included all the odd words, but I didn't catch the words: (Bigfoot Lives)? You might want to include them for the contest, good luck, love Dolly x

Thanks for the nice review. That line is actually there, as a news story that he sees on the cafe TV. Thanks again. :)
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This is a good entry to this contest. The text is a great size. The rhyme scheme is okay. It could be a bit better. The message of the poem makes sense, and you integrated the five required phrases well. The weakest verse is your last one. I would drop the first line down one space for better balance in your poem box. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

One can't help but like Johnny, a pragmatic soul, fulfilling his needs in life, he lives it the best way he knows how, excepts his weaknesses, (doesn't advertise them though) much like a youthful me. Fantastic post my friend, a great free verse. Well done, blessings Roy

Comment from Karyn2
This is one of the best ones I've read attempting to incorporate all the prompts. Congratulations on using the prompts in a way that wasn't forced or out of place while maintaining clear character and plot development.

Oh my this is sad. But you have done an amazing job of incorporating these tough phrases. The read is not clunky or awkward! Excellent job! Thanks for Sharing!

You have done a great job with the writing prompt. Those were some difficult words to put all in one story. Your artwork is perfect and compliments the writing. Best of luck in the contest.
