Hello mermaids, This is a smashing piece of writing. We should all have an orangutan hanging on our rear view mirror so we can see not only what's coming but what we left behind. Fantastic write. I for one loved it. xoxo Kiwi

This is a splendid read today and your presentation, picture, color choice and scribe is absolutely top drawer.
I have a an elephant I knitted in green on my bed, he has no tusks, no eyes and I call him Heffilump and I sometimes think about what he is thinking minus so many parts...so I understand about your lovely inspiration for this piece that sits in your car.

Love your elephant. I often wonder what my stuffed toys and knick knacks are thinking. Thanks for reading and a great review. Elaine

I actually got a clear picture of this big ape sitting in your car, riding around with you. Don't laugh, I've seen stranger sights on the road. I am glad, however, that it is just a little figure.

I was searching for your poem 'Seagulls' but settled on this one and love it. I enjoy your free writing style and 'Mo' is the perfect metaphor 'in a world gone mad.' I bought my girlfriend a similar stuffed ape only he's grey.

Your girlfriend and I have similar interests. I collect stuffed apes and monkeys. THanks for a great review. Elaine

Your picture is absolutely the perfect choice to represent this work. I could totally imagine a real orangutan sitting there carefree with no worries enjoying the ride. Well done!

Comment from LilHippie
I love it! The picture and your color choice is excellent also. Your poem has great rhythm and flow. I love anything about animals, I'm sure most people do. This is a great little tribute to your "companion" and also a nice reflection on all the worries we have and how nice it would be if we were inanimate objects (or even a real orangutan) who has no such worries. Thank you for sharing this.

Comment from adewpearl
I love how you contrast the hassles of your existence with the calm, unworried life of this figurine in your car :-)
great personification of the plastic primate
good alliterative grouping of cousin/close comfort
This is wonderfully whimsical and quite insightful :-) Brooke

Comment from honeytree
I loved the art work very much
I enjoyed reading about this wonderful Orangutan.
Every person and animal should feel wanted
By humans and not ignoring them.
Would we like to be ignored?
