Congratulations on this contest winner! There is love and joy in every line and that is something that shines through... I never would have guessed there were "mandatory" words that you infused. Every line is magically genuine. I smiled the whole way through!

I am falling in friendship love with so many of the people I met on here.
You are always so kind & have such a big heart. I actually have tears that I am fighting back right now, from the overwhelming amount of kindness showed by you & a few others, who have become special to me.
I think I will write a poem about how I feel right now. When I post it, please know that you will be one of who I speak of in my poem.

It's a pretty special family here. I've hung around since 2007. (With breaks in between because, you know, life...)
Such sweet comments I just fanned you! Now we're both tearing up!

You are very kind. I love your enthusiasm for reading the positive, as I too try to stay that way, and writing silly, and loving poems is the best way to stay in that zone. I live by the old saying that laughter is the best medicine.
Thank you for your delightful & caring review. It is so appreciated!
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
This is such a fun read! I knew when I saw the picture that this would be a story of opposites, as it was, but you bring it together at the end when you declare your identical love for them both. Very well done.

You Pam, are so very sweet. I love that you get the silliness of naming these difference, yet claiming they're alike. Thank you so much for your very kind review.

Hello! Well done on maintaining the rhyme scheme throughout the poem without losing the flow or topic of the story. This was quite a lovely piece to read. Well done!

Thank you Paige for the lovely review. It is so appreciated.
Comment from Eugenette Morin
A beautifully written ode to sons-in-law who are often the speakers - and jokingly love to hate their moms-in-law, rather than the subject of such poems. Lovely! Good luck in the contest.

You are so kind and I did love writing this, as my mother in-law wasn't the nicest. So I made a vow many years ago that I would be the best mother in-law that I could possibly be. Lol, I adore my daughter in-law too.
Thanks for the awesome review!
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your contest entry, Mystery Author, is well thought out.
I enjoyed reading it. I like the contrast between the
sons-in-law. Your words read smoothly with good
descriptions. However, the message, to me, is clear.
Though they are different in many respects, your
love of both is equal.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, My Identical Sons-in-law, has the required words and makes a terrific comparison of these two sons-in-law which is both flattering and descriptive.

Well done. I love how you play the juxtaposition of the two and stress the similarity when the differences you portray clearly. Most of all, I love your ending which comes as a surprise. Thanks for the fun and sweet read.
Many blessings!
