Thanks Z and yes interesting rhyme scheme. It has repeat lines which are modified in my entry...the rhythm rocks along though in these and they are a favourite format of mine.
Many thanks.

Comment from laren
A tender and lovely poem, describes a small beginning to live, with a well defined character and a healthy curiosity. She is claimed as an individual entity, independent of the will of mommy, making her positively crazy.
Is what I call mature, haha.
Congratulations!

Comment from honeytree
The art work is very telling and the words have been
written very well.How difficult it must be to be picking up
these toys time and time again.
Others then to have to pick them every time.
Maybe lock the toys in a cupboard and only allow this child
to have the toys if she helps Mum, to pick them up
Otherwise lock the toys away for a day or two.
Maybe this child will learn.

I totally agree Honey tree but theory is always easier than practical! LOL She is a force to be reckoned with but she sometimes helps to pick things up. Perhaps she needs a bit more positive praise when she gets it right. She loves it when I tell her she is a good girl. Many thanks for your supportive and helpful review.

I took our kids to playgroups and when I was working as a nurse again our friend looked after them and they played with her kids and it was fine.

Comment from Dougspoetry
I love it! I wonder if we talked to your mum that there might be some similarities to you at that age. I think that's called payback. Great write as always!
Many Blessings Friend! :)

Haha you are right Doug, it IS payback. Mummy dearest is not the worlds tidiest but she does endeavour to keep a relatively tidy house. I loved your review.
Thanks Douglas.

What a fun look at those times (long gone, for me) :) Actually my daughter was pretty neat, it was the boys that were a challenge. In any event I can appreciate the perspective and enjoyed your apt and colorful descriptions. Good luck and enjoy! These days are too soon gone, believe me :) Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest. Marcia

Haha thanks Marcia. Glad you had a neat daughter. I am sloth like too so she is getting it from me, but I do endeavour to keep the place reasonably tidy. She makes it damn impossible.
The brother doesn't help either.
Cheers and thanks for the delightful review.

LOL, we do what we can, eh? When yours grow up, they'll treasure all the little anecdotes. I wasn't writing when my kids were little. I quit writing for 50 years or so after three undeserved accusations of plagerism by teachers in school. Glad I got past that :) Marcia

Comment from the blue pixel
I knew who this poem was about just by the title alone. (I can't believe how grown up your little angel is BTW). I've actually heard iyou saying everything in your first stanza Closet. lol I love "she touts the pour and pulls the pout" - really good writing. I can see her "pelting about" too. "Slothful gene" is Closet gene-ius. Anyone who is game enough to come up against you in this contest, is a very brave soul indeed and I'm not one of them. Great to see you back and in very fine form my friend. xxx Pix

All kids do this to some extent or another. It's called curiosity and it's a good thing - well, it will be, one of these days. lol xxx Pix

Hello Philippa, Tahlia should be proud of her poetess-mother, what a wonderful gift for the child; beautiful poetry reflecting a mother's patience and love in lovely rhymes and quite a few original lines,"Each drop enhancing wet veneer,"--my favorite.

Hello friend, many thanks for the delightful review. Not sure how proud she is at this point but she does love the "cooda-puter" she has commandeered the brother's and turns it on and off and pretends she can type. Hilarious to watch...thanks for a great review anyway.
Cheers Phillippa xo

This is a great modified triolet, I can totally relate to every word, I have a 3 year old boy who is just the same :)
The poem speaks of your annoyance in an upbeat rhythm which makes it fun to read.

Thanks so much Mel. I appreciate your supportive review and yes there is a lot of annoyance at the mo. My time is literally gone anyway let alone repeating picking up the same crap 4 or 5 times a day. Its ridiculous. We'll muddle through though.
Cheers and thanks a bunch.
