Brenda, this is such a a warm, loving poem! I never wanted nor had children. But I sure do appreciate parents and grandparents and the valuable roles they play! It's said family is the microcosm of society. I'm glad people like you are out there helping to shape the young'uns! Maddy

This sounds fun, Brenda, but I am not sure what the emotion is that you are trying to display. Is it sadness or regret? It surely can't be whining because I don't believe whining is an emotion. I love the picture it shows two young children having fun at the pool. Enjoy them while you can.

    The emotion I'm showing is joy. The joy I felt spending summers with them. Thank you for your nice review.

Your poem is full of emotions. You use descriptive words and emotions are displayed through your well-chosen words. The photo image matches perfectly and is adorable. I enjoyed reading your work. Best wishes.

It all kinda rhymes. If you say it is free verse you will score better. I am all for free verse myself because it requires no rules to flub you up. I find that immensely helpful somedays. :-) Karen

    This is the message I got from marilyn: came home tonight but am nervous about it. I had 3 small strokes and need to have my carotid arteries surgically cleaned. Still having trouble walking. Let's all continue the good thoughts on her behalf. Karen

An excellent entry for the Emotions Poetry Contest. Very cute poem by a grandma who sounds like she is missing the small version of her grandchildren. Thank goodness for memories! Adorable poem. Good luck in the contest.

It sounds like your Grandchildren keep you busy here and they are challenging when they question everything! A fun post, much enjoyed Brenda, love Dolly x
