You really have a way with words. I felt like I was watching them on their adventures! I am a fan and enjoy all of your poems but especially your "Penny" poems.

You've done well with this poem: you've painted the picture with words that I could imagine this family's toil and hardship, leaving a familiar life behind for the uncertainty of a new one. Well done and good luck.

How brave were these men, women and children in the race to own land and build a life! Your poem pays tribute to them all and I enjoyed the ride with you, love Dolly x

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
You paint a picture that can be seen in the mind. I can see this family with all of their belongings traveling across the land with hopes, dreams, and a lot of excitement. I enjoyed reading this well written tale. Well done!

An excellent poem about the western migration by wagon train. This is a very good entry into the western poetry contest. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from papa55mike
I really like this poem, the rhyme is very good. One thing I would suggest is to bring all of the story under the picture and center it. It would read a lot better.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

I did take your suggestion, and it looked so much better. Thank you.
Comment from Coco Jane
A nice simple story.
All the stanzas rhyme abab except stanza 1-it is abcb.
Something more dramatic is needed, I think--maybe a description if the dangers, or a sense of how the gamiky feels to be settled in their new home. Just a thought.
I like the idea of seeding and then putting down roots.
