WONDERFUL! Really, a cracking take on the challenge, and to be honest, it’s difficult to get much more classic than that…

The poetry works well, and you’ve captured a pivotal scene from an unexpected perspective – very interesting… Raises the idea that he can foresee the coming tragedy as well, which is intriguing.

I doff my metaphorical hat to you, sir! MH :)

Well I must agree with M.H. What a good take and in prose as well. Can our ever vigilent taskmaster see through this disguise. I wonder who is next.

MH, you always say almost everything I want to…I can’t decide if I like that about you or hate it ;)
This is really awesome though…one of the best I think!

Nothing like a good hat-doffing to make a Saturday morning awesome!

Dude…

While I’ve no clue what the original source material is, I find this to be a very well written poem. Well, except for that period where there should be a comma in: ““Go on; I’ll follow thee.” my son declares.”

It definitely has a very classic feel to it. Fantastic job.

I know the source material, JP. I’m disappointed. A very successful and classic-feeling take on the story, Ben. I give you 2 Kudos and 5 pencils and a pat on the butt.

What a stuff up. Pooh did actually win but I accidentally pushed the wrong button and Gradual Uprising became the star. Stuff. Stuff. Stuff happens. But I did enjoy…no… I thoroughly enjoyed your entry.

hehe…obviously my PROTEST comment was a joke. Pooh was really good, once I realized what it was. Glad to have the honorable mention.

This has been nominated for the poetry ficly book.

Wow…that’s crazy cool! Honored, and all that stuff.
