Comment from Valerie Fish
A sweet little poem, lovely that it's told through the eyes of a child. Reminded me of the first time we took our grandson to the sea, he was the same.
Good old grandads save the day...
Well done on your deserved 1st place.

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
Your Rispetto was a delight to read and beautifully created. Everything about the rhyme and rhythm was perfect. I enjoy poems that lift children up and help them to see other perspectives. Very well done.

This has all the elements needed for an excellent children's respetto poem:
clear font
clear writing
simple vocabulary
a story that children can relate to.
Well done!

Hello Mystery Writer,
Your Rispetto is precious as is the accompanying artwork.
I can imagine my father and/or husband calming the fears of a beloved child with your words.
Delightful!
Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!

Comment from Wendy G
Very lovely risotto and excellent presentation. He helps by a fun rhyme to show the child that there is no need to fear the sea (or a friendly pup!) well done. I like it a lot. Best wishes for your entry.

Loved the simile that Grandpa used to explain that the sea is more like a "friendly pup." Great rispetto form with rhymes in all the right places. Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Katie Mae Dead
Dear Poet,
This is an adorable poem and a good lesson for children.
All rules have been followed, you have 8 syllable per line and the accent on the syllable is correct.
Your rhymes are great and the poem flows smoothly. That is the test of a Rispetto.
Your subject matter is very unique as well. I like how you compare waves to a playful pup.
Best wishes in the contest!
Cheers,
Katiemae Dead
