What a beautiful poem. Such symmetry and even meter and a glorious sentiment. A kaleidoscope is so much better than rose coloured glasses. Thank you for sharing your lovely poem. J

What a fun poem, Jessica. I enjoyed reading it. The picture was
precious. I liked the way you formatted the lines. The short lines
moved at a quick pace in a great way. I could see everything as I
read due to your descriptive word choices. I loved the rhymes and
missed them in the is verse ~
So I looked up
But the truth was
I felt a bit confused

However, I know this was for the bi rules contest, so it's just
me.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

Hello Jessica,
What a marvelous, inventive poem;
it flows down the page with the speed of imagination
and that wonderful image of a tie-dye moon.
The short stanzas with perfect rhymes add to the magic.
Well done.
Best wishes and good luck in the contest.
Robert

A sweet endearing story Jessica in this epic write about the moon through a child's eyes, an innocent view with a colourful touch. No particular metre here, good rhymes and sentiment, love Dolly x

This is so well done I had any sixes left. It would have your name on it all of them!
This is really really good home. You should know in case you aren't told already. It's quite delightful you are immensely talented. It's pleasure to read your writing!
People keep wanting me to critique and offer things to help. You get make it better but there's only so far. You can go when great is. Great do you know what I mean? Lovely job!

With tears in my eyes,
This grandma cries
In joy and happiness

Mom take a bow
Step aside somehow
I Knew you'd get this Jess

She's silly and smart
She sure has your heart
Love this mother~daughter mix

With her moon colored bright
She is such a delight
Camryn get's the Special Six


Oh Jess, I couldn't resist. I hope when you tell that little Angel how I save the last special six for a masterpiece, such as her tie dyed moon and she is.
Hope it makes her day, half as much as the two of you did with the poem
Btw; You also deserve this for this beautiful poem, but I know from one mom to another, we get more joy out of watching our children shine.





Camryn get's that Special Six

    You made my day
    By what you had to say
    I'd Love to hear Cam talk
    I bet she's not shy
    Maybe a bit sly
    A sweet and lucky shamrock

    Sorry: occupational hazard. Lol

    One more thing Hon, I never want to offer unneeded or unwanted advice so just want you to know that if you ever have questions about stuff on the site, or anything, I certainly don't know it all but want you to know if I can I am always there for you. And would be happy to help you anytime. However I am not sure if you knew that the punctuation is all screwed up in your reply's. There is a really easy way to get rid of those evil eddies. And always feel free to tell me to go fly a kite. 🪁. 😊

    You just made me smile so big! Can I just say - you are incredibly endearing! Your gentle approach, and ability to deliver critique in such a soft, almost nurturing manner, is amazing. That being said? You should know that I am not easily offended, and never defensive of well intended and constructive criticism. I am an obsessive learner, and want nothing more than to improve upon anything that I do, and I am not in denial about the fact that there is always room for improvement! Not to mention, you are as credible as they come, and personally, I would welcome criticism, far worse than my punctuation glitch (which is very annoying and I can't seem to fix by the way lol ) you are the sweetest for delivering even that with worry youd hurt my feelings! I just adore you! Also, I fear this means you may have had your good intentions polluted by someone's ego.. hmm you'll have to tell me about this if true! But we have also surpassed the sparing of one another's feelings, I feel that comfortable with you! Ridiculously long story short? Lol let it rip! I would welcome any criticism from you with, trusting, open arms! Now, please help me fix this punctuation mess ! lol at first I thought it was some thing I wasn't aware I had to adjust here, so I started typing even replies in my notes and then pasting them here, but it seems that is not working. Is it something maybe in the settings on my phone?
reply by Debi Pick Marquette on 17-Mar-2023
    You nut! I have no critiquing where your posts are at. I just know how annoying those other punctuation ones are.
    Do you have Apple iPhone, how about your iPad or computer? Really simple with Apple. Settings ~ General ~ Keyboards ~ turn off smart punctuation. Maybe want to restart then. I always do to be sure it takes. It is that easy. Then next you write me another note, and let me know if it worked for you, please.

    Hahah I call everyone a nut by the way. Freakier and freakier!
reply by Debi Pick Marquette on 18-Mar-2023
    In friendship, feel free to say that to me anytime.
    Since I am a bit of a nutcase myself. (emotionally speaking) hehe
    When I truly feel comfortable w someone, I can call them silly name or make a joke that could be taken wrong, and I will no longer say, just kidding or don't take that wrong or even my overused lol. I will always need them, just not as often, because of my childhood mostly, I am insecure but not as much as I used to be. My I was a ghost and a goblin mostly tells my life. As I am feeling myself getting closer and closer I always ask people to read in order to understand why I am who I am. There are few that I let inside that close to my heart completely, but I feel that happening with you and your girls. Give me a little time and I won't always be worried that I may say something that could be misunderstood. But I will always care and never want to hurt you in anyway. So with that being said, this may be a duh moment, but you do already know how to get into the reviews of others to read them, don't you? Because I would hate for you to miss out of what everyone is saying about you. I have been honored many times, and every single one means as much to me. How could we ever stop wanting to hear nice things about ourselves, right?
    So I just make it part of my ritual to go in and read the most recents everyday. Actually I have missed many when I am so busy, like I am right now, trying to build on my prose rank and keep my #2 rank for poetry. It gets a little overwhelming, but I do love writing....anyway make sure you know how if you want to read them. K? And your last remarks were flawless in punctuation. You must have taken care of it?
reply by the author on 18-Mar-2023
    I hear you, loud and clear, trust me! I genuinely know exactly what you mean. I know that's not surprising at this point, but even our core traits seem to be quite aligned. To to answer your question - yes, I do now know how to view ratings on someone's post BUT i I appreciate you asking because this is a recent discovery ! lol so please, even if it seems obvious, I will always appreciate any information you offer! I do most of my replies and reviews from my phone, which makes things a bit different and I'm always surprised to learn something new it seems.

    I am going to read your piece right now, I don't know how I missed it ! I've been reading so much of you lately, I love your work, obviously, but I truly care about your story and empathize with so so much of it.. I have a few things in the works that get a little bit more personal, dive into my past/childhood. I'm exited for you to learn a little more, as I'm sure you can relate, it's easier for me to open up about certain things through poetry, or expressing it in writing. And that dark quality that my writing tends to have is better understood, I think. By the way, I love that you picked up on that and even complemented it - it's nice to be understood!! however, you are not allowed to read up on me until your eyes are taken care of! Keep pumping out masterpieces, and when you aren't, take care of your self! I think anyone could see how adored and respected you are in this community and for damn good reason. if you're ever feeling insecure about anything try to imagine me very mad, with an angry face completely scrunched up, eyebrows too -head shaking. How's that for imagery lol. And last thing, I followed what you said, and It did seem to fix it! so thank you for the tip! bit then when posting my last post it was in the description, very strange! I have to make sure again. Let me know whenever what it looks like. Xo

    Absolutely perfect! I have been writing a very dear friend's poem today and now one told me that her birthday is Sunday, so it is midnight but after I get posting this one and give the eyes another rest, I have to do that bd one. I sure hope you are getting more fans and reviews now that more know about you! G'night Sweetie!

Mommies--and daddies too--can learn so much from our young children and how they perceive the world.
I really like how the story is narrated from the mother's perspective.
We get a very clear picture of Camryn.
An intriguing format of short lines that often rhyme.

Jessica,

This is a beautiful and sweet entry in the No Rules Poetry Contest. I enjoyed reading this heart-warming write. It is full of playfulness and is inspired. You have captured a child's view of the world from the 1st stanza to the last. I wish I had a 6 star to give you. Well done.

All the best in the contest,

Eugene
