Oh, my goodness. I am not at all sure messy rooms have a purpose and if there's bugs, I'm gone. LOL Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

Comment from F. William Lester
So true. The pleasure of our kids is often so short lived. Ours have stayed relatively close (our son is in the Army and stationed in Wisconsin, but our daughter is only thirty minutes away). Enjoy them while you can because they will be gone before you know it. Thank you for sharing these thoughts. Have a wonderful day and stay well.

Thank you very much. It's a great blessing to have children living close. Mine are scattered, but I'm planning a reunion soon.

-Nice image and presentation.
-Your note is appreciated.
-You did a good job with the form.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-Good use of internal rhyme in line one,
and a good beginning for your poem.
-I like how you address your daughter in line three.
-The last three lines show how much
you love your daughter, and give her
her own space to enjoy the things she likes.
-A very good entry; good luck!

Comment from Laurie Holding
I loved this one! The art is a perfect mate for your ABC poem. Nice work. I don't get the last line being able to start with an I, though. Is it four lines that have to be chronologically alphabetical, then live it up for line five? Good luck in the contest, and if I'm in town for the voting, I'll remember this one!

Thank you very much for reviewing this, Laurie. This is the first ABC poem that I've written, and it surprised me that only the first 4 lines must have letters that are in alphabetical order. Maybe they could call it an "ABCD" poem ?!

I enjoyed reading your post for several reasons. It was easy to read and understand, and it flowed easily. But I loved the subject matter. It was stirring, and it provoked thought. And your chosen picture was perfect. thanks for sharing.

Comment from Aussie
Exactly, we are only children once and the world is our oyster. I liked your poem. Kids get too much useless homework and miss out on human interaction. Who knows, she may become a botanist? K xx

You're so right - we never know the path that they'll choose! My mother used to let be bring home every bug and critter I found.
Even an injured baby bat that we nursed back to health. I brought it to show-and-tell in 2nd grade and was sent home immediatley!
Thank you, Aussie.
Thank you for reviewing this.
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the ABC Poetry Contest. I love the message in this poem. It took me too many years to figure it out myself and I wish I could go back and think differently about things. Life and especially your children's childhood, goes too quickly to be worries about unimportant things. good luck in the contest.

Thank you very much for reviewing this, Marilyn. I had three children, then had a gap of 12 years before my last child was born. My priorities were then completely different. I knew what was unimportant, and how fast time would fly by!
