Hello Brooke,
Charming piece of Children Poetry carved out of the healthy imagination!
It beautifully depicts a lovely story culminating in the last stanza making every thing transparently crystal clear.
Wording is simple as well as impressive.
Smooth and captivating flow with nice rhyming scheme and lively imagery.
These lines are particularly noteworthy:
"He let out a yelp, it let out a roar --
he'd never heard anything like it before!
It started to gallop and shook the Earth's floor,
while Harrison wondered what else lay in store."

A very long poem for you, but it reads easily and is extremely suited for children. The boy does not want to become a sailor but alone in the woods was also scary.

That was a lovely tale for children,Brooke .Harrison Harrington Smithson the Third( i love the names you choose for the little heroes)had a lovely ,yet scary dream and it effectively taught him that running away from home would never be a good idea.It would be a good poem to read out loud to a group. i liked the friendly tricerotops who asked him to stay.

Brooke, you outdid yourself once again. This name, Harrison Harrington Smythson, fit the story of this adventurous lad perfectly.
I loved the line about the Triceratops horns and how Harrison wondered why it was there the horns chose to stick out. That showed the true minds caliber of a child. No matter how grave the situation, there innocence never dwindles.
Nicely done and a great, fun read. John

Hi, Brooke,
Too cute picture of Sawyer in front of the dino. Something tells me that Mom and Dad probably had a hard time getting him to leave. What a fun place to explore.
Hmmmm, Harrison Harrington Smythson?! Now, that is a marble filled mouth full. LOL!
Great story.
Cheers & Blessings
