Comment from Rachelle Allen
Soft and sweet and lulling --exactly right for a before-bedtime moment between loved ones from different generations. As always, the rhymes and cadence are flawless. Xo

You did a great job with your lullaby poem and I hope you'll include it for your book of poems for your granddaughter. I love how you managed to put internal rhymes in all the longer lines! I think this will do well in the contest!!

What a beautiful poem about putting a baby to sleep. I'm sure it's from your own experience of putting your grand daughter to sleep or your own sons many years ago. They are such angels.
Well done and good luck.

Your contest entry was so sweetly written, Melissa. I
enjoyed reading it. I liked the smooth flow, the adorable
image, the internal rhyme pattern in each verse plus the
end rhymes. Your message of love was clearly evident.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

This is a beautifu lullaby. I bet it would be lovely set to the right music, and certainly one that could be sung to a young child to help them drift off to sleep. It is a gentle piece with such tender love in it.

I hesitated for a few minutes on this one, Melissa, but then out came the six stars. This one is pretty good, and I predict that it will do well in the contest.
