another great childrens story for a book. Easy flowing read and again terrific rhyming. Cut story, great for the imagination to build on, so book?

Sawyers look? I tend to agree.

That expression is worth a million dollars as my mother would say!
I liked your children's poem. It rhymed well and told a clear, concise story with a happy ending.
Great photo... Nicely done Brooke , John

This is another terrific poem that reads kind of like how you'd want a happy dream to go. The creature is discovered to be harmless and friendly. Nice image and fun to read.

Great fun poem Brooke, with a nice story/moral to it.
Brilliant rhythm and rhymes.
And of course Sawyer looks awesome as always.

Very cute kids write, Brooke.

Excellent enjambment throughout plus your usual top meter and rhymes.

Original theme of the 'monster' (could have been Dad I suspect) and his bubble-blowing escapades.

Lots of fun here.

Cheers, Ted

Looks like his eyes are going to pop right out - wonder what attracted his attention? I enjoyed your AABB quatrain. A bubble blowing dragon - that's different. Maybe dragon had a cold. One day Sawyer will sit down and read Nana's poems about his early childhood. Think you better copyright these special poems. Well done Mrs. Flame

    Kay, thank you so much, my friend :-) I have no idea what he is reacting to in this picture - I have to ask Miranda if she remembers. :-) Brooke

The writer stays consistent with the aabb rhyme scheme. The writer delivers a message that is clear, to the point and makes the reader smile. I see nothing out of place or anything that needs adjusting. Good job.

This was a nice poem, written in the quatrain style with rhyming couplets, with great rhythm and rhyming throughout the poem. Read easily and flowed smoothly.

I am enjoying these immensely. however, I take children's poetry to the streets whenever possible and get reviews from the real test market. I would like you to know that you are a big hit in the neighborhood and I am a minor hit as a speaking minstrel of sorts. they are brutally honest and surprise me often in their likes and dislikes. there are many works I find clever that bore them. never one of yours though. thought you would like to know. mike
