Excellent, my friend. I came late to the party, but enjoyed it all the same.
Very well done and lots of fun to read. I hope the story continues with the maid and the prince and gets published for kids (of all ages) to enjoy.

    Thanks, Anita - glad you enjoyed this piece of fun.

    I have three Gobbledegooks poems now and I would like to get them all published as separate picture books - one day I will work out how to go about it!

A fine poem in the tradition of oddly named characters, at a deliciously described parade, you display a very fertile imagination Steve, with this creative work, that conjures up all sorts of images concerning this wonderful world of a colourful presentation. It has a nice rhyming scheme, which is open, quite deliberately I suspect, the alliteration is outstanding, altogether a a beautifully contrived work, well done, blessings, Roy,

AABB Quatrains "The Gobbledegooky Fandangle Parade" This is a great poem you have created here. I found the structure quite good with a strong sense of formulation. Well done.

This is a captivating poem! I love that it is silly and tells a complete story, sometimes that is difficult to archive with poetry but you have done it well. Great rhythm and rhyme throughout. A well written piece, great job!

Hi Steve,
Well, this was a fun romp through the "Feast of Fandangle". I enjoyed the pageantry you brought to the page.
Loved the imagination used to develop each colorful character and each spectacle they displayed. You projected a nice feeling of excitement through the write that held my attention to the end.
Another solid entry, Steve, best of luck for it's success, Bill
