Excellent work per usual! Thanks for sharing!
Short, simple, yet effective.
I wonder how many speed bumps you ran into to avoid the letter 'A,' haha.

You're most welcome -- my pleasure.
Comment from MissMerri
When I consider the huge challenge it would be to write a poem of this length without using a single A. Then, add to that the clever story you told and the appropriate meter and rhyme flawlessly executed, I cannot imagine how anyone would give this less than six stars. Very nicely done. I think it also won a prize in the contest. Good for you!!

Thanks, Adonna. No prize this time. I'm going to take another shot in a day or two.
Comment from Alexandra Trovato
I thought your poem was cute, and descriptive, and clever. I hope I'm allowed to use As to review. I think the art image perfectly matched your poem and, your poem was fairly short, sweet, and to the point. I definitely think you should have more votes, than two. I tried to vote for you, myself, but I couldn't change my vote Best Wishes Keep writing; you have a good "Voice." :))

Thanks, Alexandra. I'll try for more than two votes next time.

You have 3. I asked if I could leave the contest or just change my vote but no one got back to me.

Comment from karenina
Wow. This is impressive! I had to read it through twice as your words were so engaging I forgot all about scanning for an errant "A" --And I did not find a single one, by the way! Clever and witty on all fronts. A smile maker.
Oh, that prince! He's "charming" in a kind of sly way, no?
I bet this does well in the contest!

Thanks, Karenina. I thought I corrected the errant "A", but I must have made an error in the correction. Better luck next time.

Say what? I did not see a single "A" in your poem! If you found one, I sure missed it... And that was the point of my comment. (smile)-- I thought it was perfect.
Comment from Julie Lau
A 4 because in the last line there is an A! In 'that'. Otherwise an excellent poem with a cute wrap-up. It would be funny if it won, with the illicit A!

Thanks for the review, Julie. I thought I had corrected for the "A", but I must have fouled up.
Comment from Eternal Muse
That is so cute. I can't believe you managed this caliber poem without using the letter A! Amazing.
I loved the fantasy imagery and visuals, the terrific artwork and presentation and the style. Your last two lines made me smile.
Good luck in the contest, I think it will do very well.

Comment from ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova
Sorry, but the last line has an A in the word That. I did, however, find the poem quite amusing. Very funny indeed. A splendid read if I must say so.

A cleverly designed and cleverly written poem that is easy to read, with the requirements needing to be without the letter A, but you've woven in cleverly, aabccb rhyming, articulate and well done, good luck, good job, blessings Roy
