Sir Nigel's Sins
A story, in many acts.55 total reviews
Comment from Eternal Muse
A great story in the poem about Sir Nigel, loves your rhyme, meter, cadence and the stunning presentation. Many great finds, like:
Oh dear! Nigel in his youth was quite a dickens.
And sometimes a lusty maid is rolled and quickens.
Mr. Green was Nigel's son,
Whom he chose--for shame--to shun!
Loved your whimsy. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for taking the time from your own work to review this. I had hoped that readers would have almost as much fun as I did writing it. I played the game of Clue (Cluedo, across the pond) for years. Some guests brought the game with them to my B & B and as I listened to them play, the lines started rattling around in my head. It would seem that they have escaped.

I'm really sorry for only the 3 star rating. As much as I can appreciate the work that has gone into this poem and indeed the expertise on show. I have to be honest and say I found it slightly boring (For want of a better word) and my mind wandered in places. Sorry again. :)

Well, it is about a "board" game. ;) No apologies necessary, I can only hope that it wasn't really a problem with my poem but that you just needed a strong cup of coffee or tea. And all those fives and sixes just get redundant, don't you think?

Sir was quite a character. I liked the story told. Took me back to the old days. I enjoyed reading your poem. It was nicely done

Hi, Peacock, White, Plum, Colonel Mustard - they're all characters from Cluedo, aren't they? Hence the clue in your final line. I remember playing the game as a child. This is a humourous write on it with good rhyme scheme. Well done.

Thank you for taking precious time from your own work to review this. I had hoped readers would have almost as much fun as I did in writing it. I played the game of Clue (Cluedo, across the pond) for years. Some guests brought the game with them to my B & B and as I listened to them play, the lines started rattling around in my head and the characters began screaming to be let out. Alas, It would seem that they have escaped without telling me who did it..

I don't know if you did or not but this was the best thing I've read in some time. LOL. Your rhyming was impeccable and your couplets just fine.

This was such a fun poem. We used to play Clue and got pretty good at it. I really enjoyed knowing a little more about each participant. LOL I think this is excellent and tells a story, but whodunit?
