Comment from Mustang Patty

Excellent

thank you for sharing your 'W' poem. I really liked this one; I've known fraternal twins like these. Eventually, one of the twins will start to dislike the 'closeness,' and that's when the real problems begin.

Well penned,
~patty~

I knew a set of twins, Diane and Denise and they fought like cats and dogs. They had polar-opposite personalities and seemingly hated being a twin. But back in the fifties, their mom dressed them alike and did their hair the same etc. By high school, I think they barely even spoke. I like my nice twins much better and I'm glad you liked them too. - Wendy

Exceptional

One of your best in this series, Wendy. The humour is spiced with a very real dilemma for twins, that of asseting their own individuality. The bond between them can at times become overbearing. I have twin nieces and have seen both the strenth of that kinship and, at times, its frustrations.

Thanks so much Tony. I have been going back and working more ethnicity and lesson into the poems as I became more comfortable that it would work. I am so flattered by the sixth and encouraged to finally finish the last. Right now, Umay Ulessys is being quite stubborn and so I have sent her to the corner to think about it. Hopefully she will repent soon and I can complete the set. - Wendy

I didn't proofread that one very well, did I? For 'asseting' read 'asserting"! By the way, many congratulations on your Cinquain win - a lovely poem - sorry I missed it earlier!

Luv it! Virtual six, Wendy!

"matchy-match" and "two-too-much" ... really is great and creative. Kids will love this (as did I).

You've captured the things that twins complain about (being dressed alike/always having their twin by their side/not feeling like an individual). You wrote about it all in a very fun way ... "If Won wants something she does too. If he smells skunk, she shouts, "Pee-Yew!!!" " ... lol

Excellent rhyming and a great rhthym. Another terrific chapter to your book! ~ ~ Connie

I always have fun reading your reviews, Connie. The wish for a sixth is plenty for me. Your enthusiasm helps me move to the next letter. Just one to go! - Wendy

It must feel good, Wendy, to just have one more left to go! You go girl! You've done a terrific job on this book!

This is a very good poem about twins and I often wondered about the togetherness aspect which you address here. Too much of anything isn't good. It seems Willow wants more than he does. When do twins "cut the cord" so to speak and bring it to a more independent level? Rhyming, story, presentation, and flow are all excellent. Marilyn

Thanks Marilyn for the review. I new girl twins who hated each other. Their personalities were so polar opposite and by the time high school ended I don't thing they ever planned to speak to each other again. I think I like my twins better and I'm glad you liked them too. - Wendy

I knew girl fraternal twins. Went all through grade school and high school with them. They dressed alike and were very close.

I nearly married a fraternal twin. Broke the engagement when I met my husband at the 11th hour. Those twins were very close, too.
