Comment from MissMerri
Though I rarely give six stars for the tiny poems, I thought this deserved it for two reasons: You have encapsulated a great truth with which most readers would readily agree, and you have stated it in beautiful and concise language. A great little poem and certainly deserving of its prize. Congratulations DD! I loved this 5-7-5 from beginning to end. ;p

Aw. Who could want more? Beautiful five - seven - five poem states a great truth using very few words. Excellent use of words, artwork, color, and font.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 poem. As a newborn everyone wants to hold us and give us love. As we grow and age over time people seem to forget we still need love and attention.

Comment from Pantygynt
Excellent use of the 5-7-5 form here. A simple statement over the first two lines is expanded in the third that also gives the reason for the wish expressed earlier. Poetically expressed, this works very well.

Me too, DD!
Wait, just a second...
Dogs don't have arms, do they?
They've just got four legs.
Darn it!
Oh well...
Lovely 5-7-5...

Comment from JennaG
This is a lovely piece, DD! I like that the poem goes full circle. It makes the reader really stop and think and appreciate the love of parents in the early years and the love of spouse as we pass out of this life. Beautifully written with perfect artwork to accompany your skillful wording. I loved it! Best of luck to you in the contest! :)

JennG, thank you so much for your most encouraging review and shiny six stars. I?m very grateful. Yes, being loved when we arrive in this world and building on that love to leave feeling the warmth and security from it is a journey well travelled. Thank you for the contest wishes. Warmest regards ~DD
