Yvette, this is a lovely and meaningful poem. I like the photography and think it really showcases your verse. Great job on the overall write. It is a very good entry for the Lune contest.

All the best,
Melissa

A very well-written Lune poem. When we lay the deep and strong foundation in our children they will not disappoint us and they will remember our patience and attention forever.

Yes indeed, Yvette.
They most certainly are.
Your Lune is not the least bit looney at all.
In fact, it's kinda cute.
Good luck in the contest.

Yvette,

The picture with father and son is priceless. Your three-liner is most appropriate for the same. Your background color complements their construction hats.

Good luck In this competition.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I LOVE this little message. How compelling and true. Investing time to make memories is well worth the "construction." Well-written and nicely formatted Lune (5-3-5). Your word choices and photo are perfection. I hope you win the contest. Good luck!!! :)

I like this very much. You say a lot in so few words. The building of a boy into a man takes time patience and sacrifice of time and most of all love. This poem teaches a lesson to all, fathers, mothers, mentors. Thank you for sharing this.
