The term latchkey kid is great for poetry. I also like the way you laid out that your childhood wasn't horrible, it just wasn't overly-loving and that you break the cycle with your own children. Great title, too. Probably the most interesting one in the childhood contest.

Thank you so much for your great review
Comment from Liz O'Neill
There's a book called Wounded Healer which says that we heal through our woundedness and bring light through our darkness. Because of your childhood, you are so alert to making sure your kids know they are loved. You draw the reader in when they read your first verse. Either they will personally identify or know of children friends, or finally understand that it was and still is a reality. You have created great imagery.
This is a lovely tribute to all latchkey kids.

This speaks how a latchkey girl is now a mom spends all moments with her children happy but feels sad if she could leave apart from her children; well written, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

Comment from Sharon Haiste
I think this is a good entry for the Childhood writing prompt.
Your short verse is well done. I'm so glad that parents care about thier children now, unlike when we were growing up.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.

Familiar and touching. The simplicity works because it's common ground for so many of us, and I'm certain there are many out there right now who could related to this--sad to say. Guess this why in raising my daughter, I made certain, that every day she knew I was there and I loved her with all my heart.

Comment from Elizabeth Daniels
A bit of a sad poem...partly because you had to go through it and partly because way too many others have had the same. Some parents are a little too selfish when it comes to kids. Well written with a nice flow.
