Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
this is a very clever and well-written poem. i didn't even notice the lack of As (a very difficult letter to do without) until i read the contest title. it deserves an A star rating, but of course can't use A and have no six stars left-wish i did.

Comment from Katie Mae Dead
This is a REALLY nice poem. I can't believe you were able to write such a long one without a letter a.
Nice rhyming stanzas of 8-6-8-6 syllable count that flows excellently.
You're going to do well in the contest with this one.
Best wishes.

Thank you so much for the review and nice comments. The tendancy is to put the letter a in many words, but it was a challenge and fun to try to do it without the letter a.

Comment from Gloria ....
Very nicely written, author. No letter A anywhere in sight as per required by the contest, and a lovely rhymed and metred ballad too.
This is a superb entry into the contest, and I wish you great luck in the voting booths. :)

Comment from dellsworthpoet
Nostalgia in rhyme. It seems familiar. The simple words reflect well the simple pleasures. I also remember hay mows and catching frogs. And yes that was yesterday and as the song says yesterday's gone.
A very nice poem. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Brenda Henderson
Great poem. Your verse flows effortlessly. I didn't realize that this was an entry for the letter "A" contest until I neared the end. However as I had just reviewed two entries for the contest I found myself still perusing each line for the letter. I did find one after "mosquito bites," near the end. I didn't deduct for it because without it if I had them I would have given your poem 6 stars instead of 5. Hopefully you can make the correction before the judging starts. Good luck!

Thank you so much for the review and comment. I did chage the a. I had seen there earlier and thought I had changed but I guess I'd forgotten. I do appreciate you mentioning it.

You're Welcome!
Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
I can't believe you wrote all this without the letter "A." It's a very nostalgic poem, yet see how I've already used that letter six times, just writing about your poem!
I enjoyed your poem very much, and I love the picture you chose to go along with it, too.

Comment from Nomar Chagrin
This is a good depiction of the wonders of an active childhood life. I like the sensory depictions that covered pretty much all the senses. Sight sound, smell, touch, etc. Brought back a lot of memories for me. riding bikes. The nature scenes. I guess when we age we lose that magic. The special feelings of summer memories. But at least we have memories.

Thank you so much for the review and comments. I still love life but I don't have the energy I once had a lot thing I once could do hurts a little now.
Comment from LisaMay
You have captured the freedom and simple pleasure of past childhood activities so well here. It sounds idyllic. Your rhyming is effortless and takes the reader along on a sensory ride.
(Please don't say you've turned into a boring old fart. The wonder world is still available to you.)

Thank you so much for the review and great comments. I'm glad you liked the poem. No I've not turned into a boring old fart. I very much like the life I have now, but I mss the energy and freedom from painful joints that I had as a child. LOL

I know what you mean about aches and pains. We just have to enjoy what we can.
