Linda

Such a wonderful poem and perfect presentation. Yum that lunch looks good.

Excellent meter and free flowing rhyme. A funny and entertaining tale for children and adults alike. You didn't leave anything out. Your poem just bounces along and is so smooth to read, especially aloud. An abundance of alliteration, assonance and consonance to provide creative poetic technique and embellish the crisp sounds and melodious harmony in your poem.

This is the third excellent poem I've read in this contest and is sure of high placement. How difficult will it be for me to vote? Yikes. I would love to get inside a child's head and write a poem like this. Good luck. Hugs - Lovi xoxoxo

    Thank you so much Linda. I like to try and take a walk with my inner child from time to time. I have many youthful foibles to choose my material from. - Wendy

aaah, I see you've emerged from your seclusion to give us a little beauty here Wendy - bravo, my dear! You've certainly got the piles of things that a child can consume, with the concomitant tummy aches and sleepiness (at least not the upchucks). I'm sure yours will do really well! (See how charitable I can be??)

    Aloha, Yes, the eye infection has passed and I am cleared to use the computer again. I tried to have my granddaughter read stuff to me, but it was too cumbersome to do the reviews so I just gave up for a bit. I am so glad you liked my little bounce through gastronomic goofiness. I never ate that much, but did fall asleep in class and those school-day embarrassments never seem to fade entirely. Hooray for the permit and a huge hug back. - Wendy

I really enjoyed your competition entry, I remember those same feelings at my school especially after mac and cheese thursday!! History had never been so boring!
I liked the rhythm you followed and the words complimented each other nicely!
good luck in the comp.

    Thank you Sidmarks for taking the time to read and review my words. It was always my lot to end up in math or history right after lunch. PE or Drama would have been much more invigorating. I appreciate the kind review and good wishes. - Wendy

Hi Rose,

This is a strong children's poem - I found it had strong rhythm and rhyme throughout. It was a great story poem with age appropriate words for children.
Great job on this one, it's a strong submission.
Thanks for sharing it and good luck.
Maureen

    Thank you Maureen, I try to get in touch with my inner child, but often find that I have aged to the point that she has become a 30 something. I'm glad you enjoyed my reminiscence and feel that I recaptured that moment. - Wendy
