Comment from Jean Lutz
I do childcare in a home with three children under six. Amazing how much joy -- and chaos -- they can bring. I am still sulking from being outsmarted by a three year old yesterday. She convinced me yogurt covered raisins were not sweets but fruit. Next time I will read the label instead of taking her word.

Hello Jean :) Thank you for dropping by! Three year olds can be very convincing can't they?! Mine would have me believe whatever suits her at any given time LOL!
Children are a joy (mostly!) I just wish that my three would get along with each other a little better.
Kindest regards as always, Debra

I know, its' not too much to ask is it? Really?!
I'm actually kind of good in the morning - til the kids get up. It's like they've been programmed to press my buttons!
Comment from Jacqueline M Franklin
LOL! I remember those days. Chaos! And, me, not being a morning person can soooo identify with this one.
Great poem, with spot on artwork as well. Very calmly pouring her coffee whilst she wants to scream! LOL
Good luck in the contest.
Cheers & Blessings

Admit it. You had a granny cam on my morning, didn't you? Very cute and clever. Think I'm going to like this gog-something style poetry. Good luck.

Comment from Imogen JH
Yes. I can relate very nicely to the theme of this poem. It's always a good feeling to see the last of them disappear out of the door.
Nicely laid out poem. The first two lines sets the scene well. It creates the tension you are trying to express.
Third line, I might have been tempted to bring in even more sentiment than you have.
The forth line is brilliant. Now you have brought in the raw, desperate emotion.
Even the author notes adds to the feel. There's a bit of feeling there also.

Comment from lindalcreel
Oh, I remember those days when the kids were in school. Then one day they were grown, married and had children. I found I rather enjoyed the solitude for awhile. Mornings are me time and I am not the most pleasant person until I've had that first cup of Java. LOL

Comment from OLA THOMAS
This poem even read like a cacophony poem, with vivid effects of noise through your choices of words. Very effective use of personification of the hidden force at work.

Comment from DerivedBetter
This was pretty funny. I think tough that you need to space your lines it. I see that you have basically five sentences, but the way they are formatted makes it hard to tell what your five lines are. Just a thought for the contest.
