Hi, s.m.

This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!

It's strange that you're entering this into a happy birthday contest because there is nothing about a birthday in your poem

I didn't know until I saw the contest name that this was going to go in a happy birthday contest or be a happy birthday poem

I thought you were entering it into a limerick contest, which is why I said what I said below. But I'm still going to say it in case you're interested in writing limericks

What clue was supposed to tell me that this was a happy birthday poem?

I am glad your husband and your son like to go fishing. I don't like it. I only went fishing because of my son. We went on boats in the ocean and caught salmon. He was 10 years old at the time. We had anchovies was.our bait. I made the mistake of bringing tuna sandwiches

Boy was out of mistake. They smelled almost just like the anchovies and no matter how much we washed our hands anchovy sent was still on them.

Do you know that your rhyming scheme matches a limerick?

So the last line lacks the meter of a limerick and the first line has ten syllables instead of 8 it doesn't have the same meter

But your middle two lines of six syllables each with iambic pentameter meter are very good for limerick.

Look at the meter in your 2 6 syllable lines. Every other syllable is a harsh sound, and every other syllable is a soft sound. Some people call lines that end with a soft sound feminine endings

Your second line had eight syllables, but the meter was slightly off

I don't know if you're interested in meter at all but it's very important to me because I submit to a site that publishes online poetry and it's free to post but they don't take the ones they don't want. They only
take poems where the meter is perfect and the rhyming is as well.

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed your poem, but I don't think it was appropriate for the "Karen's Birthday" writing contest. Did you maybe misread the description or enter this by accident? Best wishes.

This limerick, Gone Fishing, has the proper formatting and brings the father to the lakeside to enjoy time with his kids during this rare and important bonding time. Nice.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a very well written rhyming poem about the guys gone fishing. You used great descriptive and rhyming words. You used great imagery from the art work you chose. Best wishes in the contest. Teri
