Great work! Excellent poem.

Great stuff! My daughter brought your poem and presentation to school today and the entire 5th grade watched and listened. They are impressed that you actually wrote it all. They knew it was iamb 5-meter. And I told her I knew you--that really made her day! Thanks for all you do!

Impressive presentation.

Wonderful! 10 Stars!

I love your poem. It reminds me of Gilgamesh and Enkidu. A terrific production and I agree with brychar66, the writing is excellent.

Thanks for a true delight.
