(N) Nimble Nictious
This one I rejected out of my original version of 'A - Z Monsters 4 Bed' book! (hmmm, I think I might be 'buying time' before putting anything new on here - I'm finding it difficult to get it right) Nimble Nictious was a bit of a cheat title, simply because I needed an 'N'! I like the one I decided on better (I'll write that one up later), but - so this one isn't lost forever (maybe I should let it be!)- I'll use it as a 'filler'! :-) It was, like all the 'Monsters 4 Bed' rhymes, written for a younger audience. And if you think some of the words might be a bit 'advanced' for a younger audience, I have my belief that you shouldn't 'dumb-down' everything for the little people - I think kids that have experienced adult writing (even if they don't understand it) will be more likely to have, and use, richer language later, when the words will be more embedded in their sub-conscious...

As much as I liked your poem, I was struck by the intro. It brought a smile.
gosh, youa re talented..I woish I had an ounce of that! do you have a book of these rhymes, annelisa?
did you publish them?
Ah Mystic - you are so good for my soul... you are feeding candy to my muse :-)
No, I never got them published... I wrote the kiddie ones when I was going through an emotional time, and after a couple of rejections, couldn't face more...
So, I stuffed them in a bag, and hid them away... and now they're coming out :-)
