[stylist] Humorous prompt response

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Barbara,,

I agree with you. Chris does a great job at describing people and
places, and this really helps place the reader into the situation. He
has a good grasp on humor as well,and I found this a really good read.

It would be great to see a humorous poem. Definitely try your hand at
it. As I said before, it can be difficult for me to get a good handle
when writing humor, and I think writing a humorous poem would be tricky
for me, but I enjoy poems that can capture a humorous tone. Good luck,
smile.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Chris, I never quite know what to say about your pieces because they are

always good.  I always love your descriptions of places and people. I
saw one misspelled word and that was conspiratorially. I'm still
pondering this prompt because satire is not something I'm good at. I
might have a few old poems that may fit but giving a new one a try
first. Keep up the good work, yourself. Barbara
