You've done a great job of playing on words throughout this poem. A great abcb rhyme scheme adopted within your quatrains. Wonderful telling of Greek mythology here. You can see that a lot of work went into this poem. Good luck with your contest entry.

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my words. I had a great romp with it. From the moment I read the prompt and my little voice said, "you don't wanna myth this one," it was off and running. It actually wrote itself and just relied on me for SPAG. Thanks again for the stars.

'Myth G-----' is an well-written and entertaining piece. This poet's play of words work was a pleasure to both read and review. A missing gnome is any language a true tragedy!

Thanks for taking the time to read and review my words. The minute I read the prompt, and my foggy, early-morning brain whispered, "Don't myth this one," it was off and running on it's own. All I was needed for was the SPAG. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Fantastic piece and I truly hope it wins. It is fresh and it is all about being not only comically historical but truly imaginative.

Thank you for reading and reviewing my words. This poem just grabbed hold and led me off. I was only needed for SPAG.
Comment from Inky Cat
The play of words, especially myth and gnome, is too good! I like the image of the easily-offended gods, and the poor neglected gnome (running off to Alaska). I enjoyed this a lot!

An entertaining poem which should to well in the contest as it did manage to grab the atmospheric era of Mythology. I enjoyed reading it and it was my pleasure to review it.

Thank you for taking the time away from your own words to read and review mine. I had a great time writing it and it is a hoped for bonus that it has brought pleasure to the reader..
Comment from cvcopac
Yeah, fire that wandering, mythalizing rascal--the scallywags got an insurance hookup somewhere here and is panning for some quick bucks.
Mixed meter but mostly iambics and some trochaic, reads like a ballad form but some lines are not 8/6/8/6. Some brilliant thinking went into this and I laughed myself silly throughout the read. To clever--- This is exceptional writing but all I got is fives.
Best of luck in the contest.

Dear cvcopac, Thanks for taking the time to read and review my words. Yes, I did cheat from time to time on the 8-6-8-6, but I just couldn't get it to romp any other way. I tend to be a stickler too, but if you read it aloud instead of with your fingers. . .OK, it's still a bit of cheating. But I was having such fun. I also appreciate the wishful six.

It was also a great read aloud.

I look forward to reading it! Thank you for the read and review. I have always been a mythology fan (never a student) but when I saw the prompt my first thought was, "I wouldn't want to myth this," and it was off to the races. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Your very welcome, It was my pleasure, have a nice day
