What a lovely picture Roy. Yes children are so innocent and all inspiring. The pure joy of learning is so evident in everything they do. That exasperating question that fills their day "Why" can drive us crazy. LOL God Bless the children. Nice poem. Good luck. :<) Nancy

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
What a lovely tribute to you
precious little grandson, Roy -
likening him to a butterfly ---
and so tender-hearted.
I can't watch the news myself - so upsetting and makes me cry also.
Good luck with the contest, my friend.

Very touching and heartfelt. Love the picture ... very cute. Your words you used to describe your grandson fit very well into the poem. Great job, great visualization. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for this great review and comments, Shana, why only four stars? Something I should know about? Blessings, Roy.

Oh my! I am so sorry Roy! I must of hit the wrong review on accident. I would of gave you six stars but I was all out of them, but I thought I gave you five. I loved that poem. I went back and fixed that ... so sorry. Your poems are always a six to me. I will be careful next time & make sure I click on the right one. Please forgive me for that.
Shana :)

It's ok Shana, I did it to adewpearl, Brooke, once, when I get to only fives left I sometimes do the fours, I rarely do a four, unless it's really bad, few of those, thanks Again, Roy.
-
Well ... I want you to know it was on mistake. You deserve a six every time. I did want to give you that but the highest I had was fives. You're an outstanding writer. I get down in the dumps when everyone reviews me either w/a 5 or 6 and then someone gives me a four or lower. That breaks my heart. Please know your work is a 10! :)
Shana :)

You are very kind, my friend, I appreciate it, it's only others that can tell, I tend to be very self critical, I do try. Thank you Shana.

I think we are all sensitive. I suppose that makes us what we are. Writing makes us vulnerable! Bless you.
Comment from Travis64
A beautiful write and photo that conveys the love you hold for your grandson! I liked the images you created here; especially these lines,
"A handsome lad whose smile brings light,
graceful movements provoking sight-
of dancing jewels in raindrops' flight,
as water shines on a moonlit night."
Nicely penned and flows smoothly and perfectly! Well done! I wish I had six stars to give you as this was a pleasure to read!

Comment from SimplyK
What a beautifully light poem accompanied by such a gentle loving image. I love to think of a child so pure and tender and of you as a family turning off the outside world.
I love these lines in your short work:
flitting vapour floating by, ( a trickle of alliteration there too)
of dancing jewels in raindrops' flight, (an unusual but vibrant image, great energy)
thank you for sharing a delicious moment

Comment from ravenblack
Dragonflies that zip then zap/ like meercat heads that never nap- you certainly capture his energy in these lines. "...provoking sight/ of dancing jewels in raindrops' flight- awesome image. In light of your author notes, his reaction to watching the news, the jewels are sweet sorrows that you perceive, his deep empathy. Beautiful poem.

Comment from Dean Kuch
What a unique take on this prompt, Roy, and very well written. Children don't stay in that "chrysalis/pupa" stage for long, do they? Kids grow up so very quickly nowadays. Too quickly. And before we know it, they are married with children of their own, and grandkids too, if we are fortunate enough to be able to hang around that long.
I can't say as I blame your grandson for crying when the nightly news is on. I often do the same thing myself.
An excellent poem, Roy, as usual.
Best of luck in the contest. ~Dean

That is a great analogy - that your grandchild is like a butterfly. Butterflies are beautiful and peaceful as are our grandchildren. Good luck Roy in the contest.
