Aiden's Birthday Surprise
A magical Disney treat41 total reviews
Comment from Pen&Ink
Clever and poignant. About the only cartoon character missing might have been Huckleberry Hound, but then maybe I missed him. The rhythm is a bit rough in spots, but who really cares? It's a great poem, and I look forward to reading next year's version.

No, Huckleberry had a prior engagement that day. There are a few that I didn't include, none intentional. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it!! John

Well, I'm sure someday, it will come true. Remember to wish upon a star! Nice story...Everything about the first birthday party is special, even if it is only at a local water-park!

It's always a pleasure to read an upbeat story, such as this. I'm a kid at heart, so I loved the whole Disney theme, and the way you made each character come alive. You tell a wonderfully creative story with great rhyming and rhythm. The thing that adds to it, is that it was inspired by your granddaughter, and is a gift she'll treasure forever. You have a great contest entry and I wish you the best of luck! your ending is perfecto! deb

Although Disney was only a dream, you did such a great job of describing it as if you were truly there. You have a really good imagination.

Comment from Simple Reflection
Very cute! It was interesting how you managed to get all of the names of Disney characters woven into the poem. The poem is very whimsical and fun, and the rhymes work well. Good luck in the contest!

Hi jmdg1954,
It looks as if you are truly blessed with this beautiful grandchild and your wonderful writing ability. A really sweet birthday poem which I'm sure will be repeated next year. Thank you for sharing.
