Wow, I can see why this won the contest, Connie. Bravo on a really lovely poem and a well-deserved win. I apparently missed this one somehow?! You've a real knack for this form, my friend. Love to see more of these from you. Warmest regards, Bev

Your poem is in excellent syllable count and structure for the nonet, and I just love the thoughtful message you deliver about tolerance and togetherness and how children seem to be born with it until society and their elders teach them otherwise :-) Brooke

    Thank you, Brooke, for another lovely review. I don't know how you do it; you are so adept at responding to my reviews of your poetry by turning around and reviewing my most recent posts. Given how many fans you have, I can't imagine how you have the time to do this plus do the volunteering that I think you do at a homeless shelter. You are a remarkable poet and reviewer, my friend.

True! What a wonderful poem!
You have actually said that in this case children are better than adults, they are not biased. They will not think of the differences. I am glad to review this thoughtful poem.
All the best!

This work has reached the exceptional level

How perfect this is for Christmas time. Children can teach us so much, and do if we're listening. I loved this nonet, the wording, especially the thoughts and how beautifully and concisely they were expressed, and I thought the artwork was so appropriate. All of it is just right.

I like the message you present in your nonet. Children are innocent - we as adults teach them how to distrust and become prejudice. Good luck in the contest.

You have good imagery and a good flow with your Nonet poem-I love your poem-children are the light of the world and it is mention in the Bible that they will be weaker but wiser--great job.

I love the picture.. I love the poem. Let children lead the way. Bigotry is not born. It is taught. They can show us different. Great work.
