I like the cycle of life that you covered in these 3-6-9 stanzas from the little girl, to the mom who is rocking her baby, and finally the old woman, rocking and remembering her youth. Congratulations on placing in the contest!!

Your words show the circle of life. I like rocking chairs and they have much meaning in your words. Excellent use of the 3-6-9 syllables that reflect real life.

I like your word play. You may know that's one of my favorite literary techniques. Your use of juxtaposition gives the depth to your image and meaning. Many a reader will identify with this poem and be comforted.

Comment from Gloria ....
This is a wonderful entry into this contest, Leann. The rocking pony, cradle and chair all fit in sequence with the life of the girl to old woman.
Wishing you great luck with the Committee with this gem. :))

Comment from miajaffri
This poem tells a story of life in three short stanzas. I think its very
good and very true, especially the last stanza about the old woman
now left with nothing important to do dreams of the best times long
past. I'm glad your received a blue ribbon for this.

Stellar poem and so representative of life. You are a fine writer and just keep on giving us your work!! I am now the old woman who sits and cries when she sees babies and takes cats as "fur babies"...so you spoke right to my heart!

Thank you so much for those encouraging comments. I am just starting to feel the empty nest syndrome, as my two youngest children purchased a house together this past November and moved out. We got a puppy! :-) Thanks again, and have a safe and blessed weekend.

This is a lovely poem. It is very comforting and filled with positive
thoughts. It is creative and I really like the title! The poem flows and
connects well. The artwork is great and compliments these words.

I like how you used the rocking chair to illustrate the aging stages. Well done! I like the presentation too. Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Your 3-6-9 poem is excellent in every respect--creative and skillfully composed--and so touching, moving, progressing smoothly from childhood to old age. I really like this one!
