I totally enjoyed the story of Jerry Jing-Jang. What a great name - you come by your creativity naturally it seems. This should do very well in the contest - it is extremely well written and a great story! Good luck. Bev

I'm glad you enjoyed Jerry Jing-Jang. My dad told stories but he didn't write them, so now that's my job. I don't think they're exactly like he told them because neither of us remembers the details and I have to fill in a lot of blanks. If you like, you can check out 'Jerry Jing-Jang and the Cattle Rustlers' in my portfolio. Thanks for this great review.

Comment from Carole Rosa
Cindy, Your poem story is so entertaining. I loved it and I smiled all the way through it. My father used to read western books. My Dad and I used to listen to cowboy programs on the radio. After we got a television, with a 10 inch screen, we watched Doc Holiday and all the other western shows too. Thanks for the memories. Great work. Carole

Hello Cindy, a wonderful story/poem and superb dedication to your father; excellent rhyme and rhythm makes this a delightful read. Please check the following for a typo:
Brash and bold, they learned to (TOO) late. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Cindy, I forgot to mention that if you split the poem into quatrains, would make a better presentation, just a thought, thanks for sharing, good day.

What a wonderful treat for my day. You most certainly can spin a tail and sure that you are appreciated around a campfire. Excellent piece!

Cindy, I love cowboy poetry. I wish I was better at it. You might like to visit my portfolio and read "Yodeling Cowboy" and tell me what you think. I loved Jerry Jing-Jang... what a clever last name. You must have had a lot of fun listening to your dad tell his Jerry adventures. Very good and thanks for sharing with us.

I'll check it out. I also have a short story about Jerry Jing-Jang in my portfolio. This was a fun poem to write. My dad's real name is Gerry, but I changed the first letter so kids could sound it out. Thanks for the great review.

Amazing use of rhyming in this epic poem. I watched it like a movie as the story it told flowed off the lips of the writer and into their pen.

Comment from Lastamen
This character is worthy of a series of poems, short stories, and songs. I loved the back story of Jerry Jing-Jang being a figment of your Dad's imagination that he shared with you - that in itself is worthy of exposition. This overall poem is great although it is a bit haughty and off kilter in places. The meter and pacing is off in a couple of spots which disrupts the flow. Overall however, it is very good.
Till the last amen.

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Loved the story/poem aspect of this write. The story itself was good and flowed well. Great rhyming and overall pulls the reader into the work.
I would suggest you put some line breaks in this blocking style of words. I think it would help the reader and the story tremendously.
Otherwise well done and good luck in the contest.
Thanks for sharing.
