There was some tough competition but in the end I chose your entry
I love the countryside and you definitely had a serene childhood , one to envy ..
Growing up close to nature 's wondrous creatures, so much to explore, breathing fresh air ...
Even the storytelling at night .. what a treat .. I love stories .
I really enjoyed to read !

Hi tempeste Many thanks for reading and reviewing and voting for my poem.Apology for the late reply Off line for a few days. It was such a memory lane poem and ai have many more to share. We had a fabulous childhood on the farm And I can now share that I lost my brother last Oct suddenly and I think of him every day and will miss him so much He was only 65. i managed a second place for this one so that was a bonus and glad you enjoyed reading this
Cheers Christine

I love your picture which is well chosen to accompany your writing. I count it a great privilage to have spent my earliest years growing up on a far. I think it gave me the foundation to survive my turmoil once we moved. Good write.

Comment from Patricia Cammish
Hi
This is a well constructed poem in iambic tetrameter in quatrains of rhyming couplets. It paints a happy, detailed, picture of childhood and your affection for your brother.
To be pedantic you need a comma between 'collie dog, a pedigree'
Good luck in the contest.

This sounds like an idyllic childhood, and the closeness with your brother was something very special. The memories are well expressed, the poem flows smoothly. Good wishes for the contest.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This will draw the reader in to identify or gain more insight. Some readers may want to share some of their experiences on their own land or on their grandparents. That was the fun place for us, our grandparent's & later our aunt & uncle's. This was delightful.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This poem is excellent in every respect--skillfully composed (with good rhyme and meter), moving, and vividly descriptive of a childhood well spent with a special brother--and a pet.
