Comment from Sally Law

Exceptional

A shiny six stars for this one. No name is more important than this, (except for the father and grandparents.) Home and upbringing in most important. I think the world is messed up because of the lack of this.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs....

Excellent

This Katie21 poem, Names, follows the requirements of that formatting and denotes the one identity that is not only a name, but a hallowed position in people's lives.

Excellent

A concise statement on the value of, what I agree is the most valued name of all- mum (or mom, as we say). A well-suited image accompanies your piece and visually enhances its presentation.

Aww! That's so sweet! That's the best name but only a very special few can call you that. It is a name of honor and the deepest and closest relationship! So much said in this little poem!

Excellent lead in to the most treasured name of all Mum.

In combination with your artwork choice, you have written a poem in clear lines that all can relate to, even Dads.

Excellent inclusion to your NaPo book. :)

Names
by Debra White

I like the Katie21 poem form. I agree with you, mom is the best name...grandma too. :)

Your poem flows well. The structure makes sense. It draws on emotions. it presents strong images.

Clever closer--I didn't see that coming--my mind drifted to all the not-so-nice possible names such as are oft bestowed by schoolmates. I'm glad you took this in the positive direction!

Funnily enough I wasn't expecting that, I thought it was a pet name, but you're right, my very mature, very able daughters still call me daddy, the best compliment I ever received was, you've always been there for us. Bless you, how precious is that? Roy
