I enjoyed reading this well-written poem. Quite an imaginative way of telling a story. The flow is good, as also the rhyming. Good luck in the contest!

I enjoyed reading and reviewing this imaginative tale. This would be a good children's tale , I think if you added some illustrations. A very cute fantasy. Don and Vicki.

This is a great poem my friend, and an excellent tale in the great narrative, imaginative and creative, I was wondering about freedom ships, thst perhaps they rescued escaped slaves, but couldn't find anything. An excellent and entertaining read. Well done, blessings Roy

A fun tale of fireflies bobbing about and leading the fishermen, a colourful selection of words here to bring light into this poem and give it a special rhythm, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

That was well written, flowed smoothly for easy reading. The story was so cute about fire flies. How imaginative the names are. Writing just gives us such freedom to have fun and share

Thanks so very much......You are exactly right....a fun thing in this structure is to just wiggle something around with words and then see what shows up..then hold your breath and hit submit.....Godspeed and Best Wishes to you......Stu Harrell

This is a delightful legend told in verse. Spandy and Spree providing light for slaves to escape to freedom is a wonderful tale. I would have been helped with a little vocab in your notes. I don't know what a creb is, and I kind of figured from context that a Molly is a smuggler (the good kind), or is it something else?

Thanks so much for your kind thoughts.....a creb is a stagnant pool full of weird creepy, squirmy, creatures........Molly is a common Irish nickname for an alley cat.......Godspeed and Best Wishes.....Stu Harrell

Ewe. I'll stay away from both crebs and Molly!
