The poem itself is fun to read, with great images that I can see in my mind. I like the title very much, and I especially like that you've been able to portray what all kids fantasize about - a robot that can clean up their room!! I hope you do more writing in the future and consider sharing that as well.<br /> <br />It was great fun sharing this time with you. Thank you for sharing 'Mechanical John' with me and with others. That's what writing is all about!<br /> <br />All the Best!<br />Claire<br />xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425699691615371137.post-82939025376279596872013-03-02T08:38:48.454-05:002013-03-02T08:38:48.454-05:00Thanks, Claudine!
