Yes, I think for some twins it is waaaay too much. I'm glad you had fun with them. - Wendy

Wagon lost it's wheel

Woo-woo. I'm glad you liked it but think between us we have used up all the available W's. Hope the other folks on the site didn't need any today. - Wendy

wrinkling his forehead
He wrealy wondered why
Wheat subdued his wit.

I love the way you did the finishing sentences piece. I knew conjoined twins that did this very thing. Amazing. Excellent rhyme and perfect flow

Thanks, Barb. I had a set of twins as friends, Denise and Diane who fought like cats and dogs, but also finished sentences for each other. They were definitely part of the inspiration for this piece. One to go ! - Wendy

Thank you Jill. Only one left to put together. She is over in the corner pouting and not at all cooperative. I will have words with her when she comes out of her snit. - Wendy
Comment from Dawn Munro
LOL - This is a lovely, fun poem that kiddies will enjoy, I'm sure. I might have added a few commas - after "bright" (S2, L2) and here - (S2, L3 - after "something"). I'd also place a comma after "deep" (S3, L3), and here - after "everywhere" (S4, L3).
I would omit the comma here - after "hopes" (S6, L1) and use a semi-colon after "matchy-match" (S5, L1). (But then punctuation is up to the poet I guess...??)
Anyway, those are my only suggestions. I hope they're helpful. :) It's a wonderful poem.

You are always helpful Dawn. It is nice to know that there are folks actually reading these with an eye to helping with spag. I will go back and take another look to see if I can spruce the twins up. - Wendy
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Terrific! Bravo, Wendy. You've done it again. Just one thing to fix. The picture shows the word TO on the second balloon. In your text, you used AND. Since this will confuse kids learning to read, you might want to change your text to use TO, as in the picture.

Thanks so much for pointing that out. I think there was such a rush to get this out that neither Lynn or I were looking at anything but the whole, not specifics. I have gone in and fixed it and feel so relieved that someone has my back. - Wendy
Comment from frierajac
I like your poem a lot. It reminds me of a famous poem about Siamese twins,
an actual case in the past century. A famous poet, R.S. Gwyn wrote it as a
first in a long career. It is a shape poem, with the outline of the twins in the shape
of the persons who were connected their entire lives I fond it in a book, or I would copy it for you. I believe they were Asian descent.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the poem and I appreciate your taking the time to read and review it. I will see if I can find that poem somewhere. You have piqued my interest. - Wendy
Comment from nancy_e_davis
I don't blame Won for feeling put upon. He needs a little space and who can blame him. Everyone needs to be alone occasionally. This is a well written poem Wendy. Good imagery.
"and then this two-too-much will end" VERY clever.
Nice addition to the book. NAncy

I think perhaps poor Won-il is feeling better now that someone has vented for him. I am glad you found my W kids entertaining.- Wendy
