Congrats on your placing and this is a delightful and very true little poem.
Children are indeed their own blueprint, just like a snowflake, no two the same.
I have two little snowflakes here that keep me on my toes haha
Nicely done
Cheers P

Hi CPJ:

Thanks for taking the time to read and review this little piece. I fell in love with the pic of the little girl in a coat just like mine lol and it was snowing, and snowing, and snowing... I appreciate the great comments.

A pleasure Kim. I understand JUST how individual these little darlings can be.
They like some things the same but BOY are they each their own little person indeed. Chalk and cheese in many respects and I DO love it.
Your poem was cutely profound, if thats possible haha

This is very true. They are each precious and unique and should be treated that way.
It is sad the some aren't.

Congrats on the honorable mention

HI, Kim

Congratulations on your poem placing in the contest. I enjoyed reading it this afternoon. The metaphor of the fresh snowflake and a child, both unique, is a very creative statement.

Well done,
Ray

Hi Ray,

Thank you so much, it is lovely to hear from you. It was a pleasant surprise to discover that I had won honorable mention this morning. I appreciate you taking the time to read and review. I just fell in love with that picture (she has a jacket just like mine, which is a good thing, since it is -40 here today lol)

Have a great evening!

Cute photograph of this little muffin in the snow and a great comparison between each fresh snowflake and each child - look the same, made the same, but all so totally different.Good luck in the contest Kim,

Hi Valda,

Thanks for taking the time to read and review this one. It was a bit of fun. I fell in love with that picture and just had to use it for something. (I actually have a jacket just like hers! lol) I appreciate the great comments.

Oh, Dovey, how clever, and beautiful. Yes, each of us is entirely different, save for the fact that we are human, aren't we? And wouldn't it be wonderful if we could learn to celebrate those differences!

Kim,

What a refreshing poem. Good job on the syllable counts per line. I really like the comparison of children as all being different just as all snowflakes are different.

Good job & best wishes in the contest. Jan

Hi Jan,

I fell in love with that picture (I have a jacket almost like that little girl's lol) I saved it with no idea what I'd use it for. I think deciding on the words for the 2-4-2 might have been harder than working on abstracts lol The shorter ones always make me reconsider and change my words so many times. Thanks for the great review.

So true, I had identical twins and still each was unique even though they were impossible to tell apart. Their attitude and manerisms were unique. Excellent 2-4-2

Excellent short poem. These short ones are incredibly difficult to write, but you have a beautiful, poetic and entire sequence all in these few short syllables. The artwork is just adorable.

Best wishes to you in the contest, Kim.

Hi Gloria,

I think the super short ones are the most difficult. I always second guess myself on the word choices. I appreciate your wonderful comments.

Thanks!

What a great comparison. After spending the day with my granddaughter and my grand nephew, I would heartily agree. They both are so different from each other and so UNIQUE.
