Lisa,
Nicely done and colorful display and description of a spinning top and also
a strong metaphor for how one feels in this wild world we're living in now and also in general about dealing with problems.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Happy Holidays
Joan

Some people may feel this way over any number of things. We don't know why the narrator feels in such a spin. Excellent rhyme, and the color is an excellent touch for your subject. Great work, and it looks lively on the page. Congratulations on your second place win. judi

Well Lisa May...
Your writing is "Tops" with me.
This was a cleverly written "spin"on the joy and the down fall of a top.
You will be spinning into the top slots of victory with this poem.

Hello Greyson
I appreciate your reviews of so many of my poems, but you really should try to write different ones for each item you review. I see you have written the exact same thing to other writers as well. You are new to the Fanstory site and that sort of copy-and-paste reviewing is not appreciated as a fair review.
I'm not saying this to be horrible; it is not fair to get reviewing 'money' without reviewing effort.

"So undone,
I've been
spun
!"
What do you think about
"Quite undone'
It's a challenge to write a rhyming money much less a clever metaphorical poem. You aced it..
Think this one's headed for the winner's circle, LisaMay.
Good luck
Stay safe and blessed

I love it! Very skillfully written, with rhyme and even meter. It follows the nonet syllable structure. Furthermore it tells a whimsical story. Very put-together! A winner for sure.

This sounds like something a top would say. If they make talking ones it would be fun to have it say this as it spins. The faster it spins the faster it could talk.

A very well-written Nonet about the fate of a spinning top. It has to go around us its core on demand and sometimes he just refuse to play along when it gets dizzy from all the spinning.

A cute poem letting us know what a top feels like while he's spinning across the floor all alone. I wonder if he gets motion sickness from spinning around and around. I don't think I would like to be a top. Good job!

I hate feeling dizzy so I'm pleased I'm not a top too.
Comment from Wendy G
Good topic for a nonet, as it does reflect the shape of a spinning top. The accompanying artwork is perfect also. Another imaginative piece. Best wishes for the contest.
