Thank you for sharing more of your grandchildren and another appealing form. I enjoyed the sandwich, along with the rhymes. I appreciated your wise advice about nature, laziness and family bonding. Smiles- Joan

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Hello, Treischel.
-I didn't think you were
"into quatrains, or trains for that matter!"
-Now you have gone and written
a "quatrain sandwich!"
-Thanks for the notes about it;
maybe I will try one.
-I really like the photos.
-I like your poem about your grandchildren.
-They are good looking kids.
-It's nice that you share a bit
of nature with them.
-Children can get too caught up
in all of the tech devices and
never get out of doors.
-Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Pam. I appreciate your review and comments. We are of like mind on those kids. For sure , hop on a "-train."
Comment from Pantygynt
This tempts me to create the Cornish Pasty. I think that would be a big slice of free verse (all sorts of stuff makes up the pasty filling) wrapped around with much longer lines in rhyming couplet.
You are right though, the great outdoors is the place for adventure first hand not canned inside some box.

Of course.
Comment from pome lover
Bravo! Good advice and good poem. AND precious picture of grands.
Not only hug a tree, but learn to be at ease talking with grandparents, not sit mute and mutinous as if they're in time out. (although there SHOULD be a time out from electronic gadgets.)
And yes, especially go outside - play hide and seek, touch football, draw hopscotch on the sidewalk - get exercise.
Your poem should be required reading for parents and grandparents.
good job.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written sandwich quatrain about the children of today that find it hard to play outside and leave their electronic toys for a while for some old-fashioned fun in the backyard.

Comment from jenintorre
I totally agree with you. I think children spend far too much time inside. When my grandchildren visit me they spend most of the time making videos of themselves. It is clever but frightning. Where will it end. Cheers. Jen.

Thank you Jen. Good question. I don't get this "selfie" thing either. Why would someone want to spoil a shot of the Grand Canyon or Eiffel Tower with someone mugging in front of it. How egotistical!
Comment from RodG
Your grandchildren are beautiful. I can see why Grandpa would want to spend time with them. I also concur with your complaint that young people spend too much time indoors with electronic games/devices. I enjoyed this "sandwich" very much. Rod

Very good advise. Word flow makes it an easy and easy read. Kids have too many things to keep them inside and the outside is becoming only a place to get to your car.
