Fun poem! I'm sure children would love it. I especially liked the first four lines with internal rhymes and to use "stuff" as a verb and a noun into "Sneaky Pita!"

Thanks so much for another kind review. So happy someone mentioned my Sneaky Pita. A bit self indulgent, perhaps, but the writer should have some fun to dont'cha think? - Wendy

Wendy,
I enjoyed your poem for U. The rhyme & meter were super. I have heard of all the foods you included. The picture is really cute. Your words describing Umay sound just like a kid would say--stuff stuff inside was perfect.

Your book sounds awesome & fun. I will have to read some that I missed. Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan

Thanks Jan. I'm glad you liked stuff stuff and mentioned it. I always wonder how people are reading the little self-indulgent things I tend to slip in. - Wendy

Awesome!
You have made me hungry!
Your chattery flow of words and thoughts is easy to follow, yet challenging to the mind.
Umay is a cutie,love the picture of her with the olive fingernails. Cute too, the play off of 'feta, which leaves lots of crumbs'

So glad you liked the poem. I appreciate the read and review and comment on the feta. It helps me to know what catches the eye. - Wendy

Comment from smbau

Good

The poet choice of picture, background and font colors supported the content of the poem. The poem talked about what Umay loved most about olives. I gave a four because thought the words some what hard to pronounce and especially for Children. If this were not a child poem, probably a teenager, I would give it a five star. This is my 2 cents.
Ps: This could go well in Greek society probably.

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my words. I suppose I felt that parents would initially read this book to their kids and they would explore the sounds together, but you have given me food for thought. - Wendy

"That silly, scrunchupity face that she makes
while slurping up spoonfuls of sour Lemon soup" I love this stanza... one of the best for me. I like the word, scrunchupity... :) and I remember eating that soup when I was little. I love lemon soup.

Good job. Congratulations on your finished book.

Thanks for noting the stanza you liked best. It helps me in future writing. My grandson laughed at scrunchupity too. Your inner child is showing. - Wendy

We visited many Greek islands, but never Crete. Well done I liked this rollicking work, of Umay Ulessys, (such a lovely name) written in excellent fun language, in which the descriptive language creat great imagery, in rhyming couplets, well done, blessings, Roy

Thanks for giving it a look over and review. The name Umay Ulessys was one of more fun ones to find and it set the meter for the whole piece. I'm glad you liked it. - Wendy

Thank you Margaret. Meter and rhyme are very important to me and it is wonderful to have you point out the strength of mine. I have been having a great deal of fun with my Alphabet Kids, and I'm glad you had fun with this one. - Wendy

This is a delightful poem, my friend. U is hard to use, but you have made it look easy without even using Unicorn like is generally done. Lovely fun poem, my friend~Debbie

I Debbie, U was a hard one to come up with a fun name for her. Not a lot of them and several were stodgy, old maid sounding, so I am glad you like little Umay Ulessys. Thanks for the R & R. - Wendy

Hi Wendy. I like Greek food, but now that I'm vegetarian my choices are limited. Your poem is catchy with good rhyme and some interesting words, like "scrunchupity face." Good alliteration, too, especially in that sentence using the letter "s." Marilyn
