Ciao Pookietoo,
A very cute pic to showcase your poem about boys.
In our society males are considered the stronger sex so we expect them not to show weakness in any context , so tears are a big huge no, full stop. ( at a funeral or a birth they are allowed a few tears)
The truth is that males have feelings just like women and they shouldnt be forced to hide them to suit society's expectations .
We should not scoff if they show them.
Personally I don't think a man who cries , means he is weak on the contrary.

As a mother who raised four boys, I can say I am in complete agreement with this contest entry. Thank you for highlighting boys in this contest entry feel they often get a bad rap. Good luck with the contest.

That's a pretty good ABC poem, Darla. Line four reminds me of one of the poems that I wrote. Your last line is really good. Best of luck in the contest.

Your poem beautifully captures the innocence and warmth of childhood through simple, vivid images. The rhythm flows nicely, and the sentiments about familial bonds and future aspirations are heartwarming.
The line "Decisive they try to be;" feels a bit disconnected from the rest of the poem's focus on the gentle, everyday moments. Perhaps consider adjusting this line to better align with the theme of cherishing family connections and growing up.
Overall, it's a charming piece that reflects the tenderness of parental relationships and the transition from childhood to adulthood. Great job!
I tried to send ideas...they won't go o through lol
Dreaming? Discovering?
