Penny Helps Out
by Boogienights

It's a perfect poem for the season.The rhymes do not seem forced. Your poem flows well. It draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

This is an enjoyable poem with a nice message and a lesson. It has a good rhyme scheme and smooth rhythm. The imagery is very well displayed, too. Good luck in the contest.

What a cute poem with a lesson in loving others. The repetition of Penelope's name at the beginning of each verse is effective and probably fun for kids to hear and say. Well done and good luck in the contest!

I will first start off by saying I am very familiar with the Penny series and I love everyone of them. The warmth and the love you convey in these poems is a gift indeed and if these are not made into children's books it would be a tragedy.

Lovely sentimental piece here, I liked this very much. So many people out there are alone and pretty much pennyless in need of a helping hand.
I'm very glad your Penny in this story was such a helpful little one, she learned much about opening her heart that Thanksgiving :)

I've loved these penny poems since the very first one and I think this one is fantastic. Good luck in the contest, although I don't think you'll need it.

I understand that this poem is meant for children and it is well written. I like the upbeat quality..........and the general lesson about helping the needy and not be greedy.

    Thanks for reading. I was wondering, since you gave me such a low rating, if you could tell me how you think I could improve my poem. It's how I learn.

    I'm sorry. You have written a good one. I suppose I am just not meant to comment on items meant for children. I find them too sugary. regards, Robert.

That's a beautiful thing to teach kids when they are young to help those who are less fortunate. It creates a feeling gratitude. Great thanksgiving poem for kids! Best wishes in the contest!
