Creative image: joy-sucking. Waht a poignant tale, so sorry that it is a true one. You vividly portray this angry woman and the ripple effects of her wrath. Quite a punch at the ending: the day you "almost" owned roller skates. Cheers. LIZ

She certainly sounds like a bit of a dragon, Linda. This is the kind of event that would have left a deep impression on a child. No wonder it is still with you. Well told.

Tony: she was a dragon until the day she died. Thanks for reading. How did you fare in the Australian fires? Linda

We have been fine so far. Just a bit of smoke pollution from the Kangaroo Island fires when they were at their peak.

Your poem the Day I Almost Owned Roller Skates told a clear story that fit the title. The picture worked well. I would recommend changing the category of the poem to autobiographl for the contest.

Number 1 - it is NOT a poem. It is a story. I used the category 'family' because it was about family.
