I keep reading the first line as, "Jeremiah started cooking." That's a bit early, even for your family.

Now that I've looked up Elfchen, Heather, I believe you did that, or something very near it, at Forest City. With the Your Name, etc. format found

Wow.

Elfchen does not exist in the English wikipedia, but there is and English page describing it to be found from google. (: I think he might like that one!

Jonathan's blessed with a gift for rich sensory image and content.

Puzzling for meter and rhyme offers additional fun.

(It took me at least five extra minutes to rearrange what I'd written into an elegiac couplet, but making it comes with great satisfaction. I think Jonathan could write a two-liner like that, or simpler structures such as haiku or Elfchen.)

This customer is thankful for all his work that puts food on your table, and the table in the kitchen, and the kitchen in the house, as well as the work that gives Li'l Writer Guy a voice!

And thankful to you for this update.

I like Jonathan's poetry. I suspect he also dislikes having to come up with poetry on demand. But if he listens to enough good poetry, he'll come to understand that meter and rhyme are structures for poetry to climb on, like a tomato cage or a bean pole.
