Comment from Robbie Yates

Excellent

Ha! I was waiting for you to confess undying love... or responsibility for a murder... or, at the very least, that you were running away to join the circus.

I guess it could still be one of those things!

Another sublimely wonderful poem - and your word of the day was woven in so seamlessly I didn't even spot it upon first reading!

All three, Robbie ;-)

Thanks so much for the generous comments -- Craig

I really like the challenge in your author's notes, seems like it will be interesting. I also enjoyed the poem, the end was pretty funny. My only critique would be that I felt like the word "quite" was in there too many times. A picture and color may also grab more attention. Other than that, great job! :)

You are absolutely correct about the repetition, which normally I try to avoid like the plague. Somehow, it slipped through in this one, and following your pointing it out, I've removed two of the three occurrences. Most grateful for the eagle eye, and the kind comments. Craig

A very well-written cricumduction and built up to the great news you had but o my word, you totally forget what the very important announcement was all about.
