This is an absolutely lovely poem for a child and I wish every child could hear it. Children do need to hear that they can do anything that they want to do. All it takes is some effort and some times it takes a lot of work. I wish you the very best of the contest. I also wish you the very best with your writing here on fan story and by the way welcome to our community. Patricia .

Hi, Caroline!
First and foremost, welcome to FanStory! What a delightful first post! I like its sing-songy style and all the options you provide to let a child's imagination soar. The ending, of course, is my favorite: But the best thing you can ever be is to keep on being YOU! Written like someone who loves children!
Good luck in the Poem for a Child contest! I hope to see your name in the Winner's Circle!! xoxo

Wow. Thank you so much it's actually a children's rhyming book I wrote last year, I have all the illustrations done and tried to publish on amazon but it was too short and haven't got around to extending it yet, I write alot of little bits when the mood sticks. But I really wasn't expecting such fantastic reviews, I'm overwhelmed 😢 thank you so much for your support.
Warm regards
Caroline

Definitely don't be surprised, Caroline. Talent gets noticed on here quickly. Maybe these accolades will be just the inspiration you need to extend your book enough to make it Amazon-ready!!

This is wonderfully delightful. But there is also a downside. Most poets improve as they write, I don't think you can get better. This is simply an amazing first. Superbly written. I really look forward to reading more of your work. Welcome to this fabulous site.

This is such a wonderful poem for kids, I really enjoyed it. So much fun to think about being something in fantasy, real life or even in the animal kingdom. Opening up the wonders of the imagination. Very well written, thanks for sharing!

Hi Caroline, what a lovely poem this is. Much of it is smooth and flows nice.
If I were a child I would love to have this read to me.
I would love to see you do well in this contest, and presentation is so important just to be recognized in these contests, and it wouldn't take much to improve it.
It would really add to it to have a fun picture to go with it.
Your writing intrigues me. You remind me of me when I started here. So I know you wouldn't be here if you didn't want feedback and help, right? I know that is why I came. It would also help to put it in a more consistent format and structure.
You are very talented, so I wouldn't mind helping you if you'd like. This has great possibilities of being a lovely presented poem for a child. Let me know. Debi

Congrats on your first post! It's an enjoyable one! I loved this! It's perfect for a child. What a delightful journey through imagination and possibility! Your poem invites children to explore the endless wonders of what they could be, if only for a day. From swinging through the trees as a playful monkey to soaring high in the sky as an eagle, each possibility is so well painted by you. I could see it in my head. The inclusion of superheroes, astronauts, and famous actors adds an extra layer of excitement and adventure to the poem. All that aside. I love how you gently remind us of the most important thing of all - the value of being true to oneself. In the end, the message shines through brightly! Wonderful work!
