I think the voters are seeing your flexibility on show in these competitions. We all know you're a great poet, but to find such levity, inventiveness and sheer fun on display in a conventional format, is not quite you normally present. Firstly, I can only imagine how you came up with the theme which is so unusual. The use of verse, rhyme, meter is impressive and how you've woven the set words in has almost given you an excuse to be so outrageously joyous. You must have deserved this win. I would have voted for you if I'd been around.

    Hey Mark - every so often I get into the nonsense stuff. When you get a prompt like that, it's fun to sit and free associate pure nonsense and see where it leads ... just a sick puppy I guess! Glad you enjoyed and thank you for the high compliments!

You put your words to good use in this fun rhyming poem. Lots of alliteration, and fun new words for kids to master.
Excellent rhyming and super picture. Congrats on your win, most entertaining. Faye

    Had NO idea - but I just felt writing something a little nonsensical and it went from there - weird, hmm? But fun. Thanks fs! :)Sharyn

Wow! Wow! and more Wow! This is just tantalizing to the tongue!
I'm still reeling from the fun! lol
I can't believe you got all these words in there... I've been looking at this contest for a few days and all I could come up with was Christmas trees! LOL
Obviously I was stuck on the fir and the present parts!
This is so much fun and I think you might have a little board book if you wanted to!
Good luck in this contest, I think you've got a winner here!
Wow! (did I say that already?)

(I sure wish I had a six to give you...)

This is wildly original, given the constraints of the prompt. Though the terms are advanced for children, I feel it as a poem that children would like as much as fun loving adults. It's just a fun poem that clicks along happily.

Your poem flows and rhymes well and your artwork choice is excellent. Your poem is well written and I like the humor.

There are some words that are just made for humerous poetry and puffins is (or should that be are?) one of them. I have loved wordplay like this ever since I was a kid and this is great stuff.

    Who could possibly take puffins seriously, hmm?

    Other puffins I reckon.

This work has reached the exceptional level

this is a cute poem, mystery writer, you used your words well without making it seem forced and it was a hard list of required words. I wish you the best of luck in the contest
