An endearing poem about
children, Bill. The photo of
your granddaughter is
charming. We have to get
mosquito spray every spring,
as the mosquitos are
relentless. Many blessings
to you & your family. ~

A child looks forward to special holidays. Christmas is a holiday when they know St Nicholas will bring toys for every good boy and girl. Your picture reminded me of Christmas. Like your poem.

This is a very sweet and well written poem about children for the contest. Emily is a beautiful little girl and her Christmas bear is almost as big as she is. Great descriptive words and lovely art work. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

This was a great poem which took us from Christmas to New Years to Valentines Day, St Paddy and into summer.

I can do without bug bites, haha.

Good luck in the contest.

Good

Unfortunately this poem, cute as it may be, does not seem to meet the entry criteria. "At least three stanzas of four lines each". I did enjoy reading it however.

Lovely picture goes well with the text. Suitable for the Christmas season and the New Year! Children certainly brighten up life, however difficult they can sometimes be!
