Mystery Poet, yahoo for the snarling dog. It's so nice to think that she was saved by her loyal canine. Great job and good luck in the contest.

Hooray for you! I loved your poem, it had rhythm, told the story and did a good job with the rhymes. I found no SPAG issues so nothing I can say would help your work.

Poet,
Your poem is excellently written with colorful imagery painted by your humorous words.
The art work you used is amazing.
You used fabulous alliteration.
Your rhyme and meter are great.
I enjoyed your second and third stanzas:
In he came to her abode,
with mayhem on his mind.
Sneaking silently about,
for what loot he could find

With stealth he looked around,
his mind was on the prize.
Much too late he looked down,
he couldn't believe his eyes.
I wish you good luck in the contest.
I'd recommend your funny poem to other reviewers.
Missy.

I love the picture. I love the poem. I like the twist. This time the intruder got the worse end of it. Maybe he can learn unlocked doors don't always mean it is safe to enter. Great work.

Those pesky pets can foil a good robbery. Your poem was funny and used good rhymes to enhance your story line and message. Good cadence as we observed the thief in action.

Hi the author

A clever poem that reads and flows very well. Love the way you have turned the, 'locking of the door' upside down. Have always loved a bit of, 'topsy turvy'.

Kind regards, Pete

This is absolutely fantastic. I love the turnaround at the end "Thought foremost on his mind: I wish she'd locked that door!"

"did not foresee her plight" makes it sound as if we know what will happen from the outset, but we don't!"

"he came to her abode with mayhem on his mind" - things are getting scary now

"snarling teeth shone so bright, drool bounced off his denim" - what a great way to introduce the dog!

Nice work, Cujo!

I really liked your poem because it wasn't boring and it was funny! The guy was probably suprised when he looked down to see a dog growling at him. Next time he'll probably remind her to lock the door.
