Petra, your poem was charming and fun (like you).

If you're struggling with rhyme (as I sometimes do), I would advise that the best thing you can do is read as much of the classical poets as you can. The masters have much to teach and the classics are the ones that loved to write rhyming verse.
As you know, I do have a penchant for rhyme and I can only say that I continue to read as much as possible.

Very Cute, Petra. If your meter is whacked, I, dog and romance lover cannot see it through the sweetness of the tale...

Petra,
Thank you for sharing your first book with this reading and writing community. I enjoy romance, so I enjoyed your book.

As a writer, I've found that writing takes lots of time and work. A book that I would recommend reading is Creating Poetry by John Drury. I'm not sure if it is available at most stores or not. It is a good resource for writing poetry.

this narrative poem is not your metier, Petra. Nice concept, though.

Hi Why! Laurie lived until a ripe age. Perhaps I should include that?
The reindeer. Santa needed them! ;)

Hi Dennis! I hoped for the rhythm and cadence in addition to the rhyme! Thank you! :))
