  • Solid contrasting lead word and end word used in your Diamante which is in good form. Very nice transition between the extremes. Well done!

    Your Oddquain is also in good form with thoughtful theme and well picked words. Syllable is right on!

    Thanks for your entry and good luck.

    Great Contest Entry!

    This is a lovely set of poems I really enjoy the Diamante here - I have a friend with ferrets and they are adorable these are well crafted indeed!

      Thank you so much, Polly, for the encouraging review! I've had ferrets for almost 30 years now. They are the most intelligent animal I've ever had, literally understand every word I say and follow my instructions to the letter when necessary. Otherwise, they are little precious brats. I adore them, despite the fact they require very specialized care.

      Luv & hugs, SisBon

    Wow, sure used the right words! Do you really have a ferret? Before we got cats my husband contemplated having a ferret, but we live in a mobile home and to keep it in a cage would take up space. Anyhoo, this was cute. Blessings.

      Yep, sweetheart, I've had ferrets for almost 30 years; brought 4 up with me from Texas. I don't recommend them where there are small children, for the ferret is very small and easily injured because they tend to get under the feet; unlike a cat. They also require a lot of special care and must be able to get out of their cages for supervised play and exercise. I never let mine out when there is company expected or present-- mainly because guests tend to open doors without thought and a ferret moves like greased lightning, disappearing to their own demise-- and when I am not at home and they always stay in their cage at night. They are such an incredibly intelligent animal, more so than any other pets I've had over the years: literally understand every word I say. Amazing!

      Tons of love & hugs, MomB
