Excellent

I love the picture. I love the poem. I love the poet. He had the courage to make changes in his life. He wanted to use all his talent to their best. Great work.

Och aye the noo! I like your little ode to Robbie Burns, and you have certainly adhered to the format of a Clerihew. However, I would perhaps have liked a little more humor in your poem to completely nail the brief. Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest.

A nice effort with this poem. I have given a good (4 star) review as you did not meet the AABB rhyme scheme with your second line not rhyming. Also I felt you missed the comic effect or it just went over my head, not knowing whether Rabbie was farmer before or not. Great try and good luck. J

This is a great poem the only suggestion I have is that the first to lines for your AA rhyme scheme do not fit into a solid rhyme but overall this is a job well done.
