Very clever and humorous poem and the words were all incorporated smoothly. Rhyme and metre also flowed well. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Cute. Could easily turn this into a children's chapter in a book dedicated to fun animal adventures. I could picture each of the verses being illustrated to show each of this orangutan's adventures. It would be quite fun.

First of all, brilliant work on being able to use the same rhyme throughout this most fun poem! I loved the rhyming words you used. And I also loved your cheeky tone with this little story. Orangutans are outrageous and cheeky, and so is your poem. Perfect match!

What a fun story! I liked it very much. The picture is so appealing, I had to read the poem that came with it. It seems you have followed the difficult instructions in the prompt, which couldn't have been easy. I wish you much luck in this contest. MM

Lol! That's a fun story all told in monorhyme and I'm happy for the poor teased orangutan who was able to make his escape from the zoo and apparently knew how to drive as well as play instruments! Best wishes in the contest!

More than achieving the form, which is entertainingly awkward, you've written a fun tale of wild fancy. I was cheering our red-headed hero on every step of the way :-)

You met the requirements of the contest, using all the words and rhyming all the lines. The story was a bit odd, but that's okay. It's hard to use those words in a normal story.

    Lol, now Thomas, I would have thought that odd was right up your alley. Haha! And I don't do anything normal. If I can't shock or find humor, then I am not writing up to par. Thanks my friend for the kind review.

What a cute poem. I can relate to this in many ways. It has an emotional and logical tone to it. This flows very well and I liked it very much. Well done.

    Thank you so much for this lovely review and kind words. It has had wonderful reviews, however few have explained it the way you did, emotional and logical. That was my thoughts when I wrote it and thank you for getting that. Like I wrote, we all need acceptance in life. Even an orangutan in a silly ole poem. Thanks again my friend.

Oh yes indeed, total rhyme is hard, one has to choose a rhyme that is common, and then choose rhymes that make sense, so it can be difficult, so well done, great theme, and skilful narrative, good luck, blessings Roy

    Hi Lily, I have been meaning to get a hold of you, but didn't know if you were back yet or not. However since Helen emailed me to tell me about what happened I put you on my prayer list and have been praying for you daily.
    Your typing was fine and I know how hard that is to do with one hand.
    And you certainly gave me one very beautiful review with the kindest of words. Thank you for that and also for your very gracious gift of those shiny stars. I appreciate it all so much and my prayers will continue. You start feeling better and heal real fast, my lovely friend!
