Hi there,

Congratulation! No wonder you won the contest, my dear friend. It's a very pleasant to read poem. I love most these following lines; they represent my feelings as well:

I hate when it ends, sorry
for the intrusion of TV,
the golden-voices trying
to sell the wrong style
of life to the unwary.
Setting a trap, saying
having more things is
better than this...
better than a heart full
of family

Regards, tati (April 29, 2009)

Skye, this is an excellent poetic response to the challenge. You fold the required words into your poem seamlessly and present us with a wise and original take on Sunday Morning.

I especially like the way you create a note of incredulity in your last line.

Well done.

A very cute poem, which uses all eight words well. It is amazing how you can create such a happy poem with such sad words. You even use cliches (such as "row row row" and "itsy bitsy spider") in new and unusual ways. A fun poem.

This is so emotional and so enjoyable to read, to know how well some are still enjoying that kind of feeling, and wonderful entry for the contest, emotions and structure with a strong image of how wonderful the mornings are.

Very nice little poem making use of all required words and completing a writing that has a message. Great imagery of one having fun with a baby and not wanting to face the day, especially the TV commercials. Good luck in the contest.

WHat a wonderful commentary on you have written on commercialism versus family intimacy. The poem flows very smoothly and creates an amazing picture of a child and it's parent bonding. Best of luck in the contest with this wise entry. Blessings, Linda

    Thank you so much for your insight and appreciation of this fun little poem. I saw the prompt just after the experience... grandkids on the bed together, just loving the peace that comes with family.

A very nice poem.................brought back some lovely memories............especially when the kids were young and 'itsy bitsy spider' is still politically correct............lets hope it stays that way
cheers max

I think you did this masterfully. The image of you romping with the kid/kids on the bed on sunday morning painted such a wonderful carefree picture. And then the TV takes away all the natural pleasure of human interaction and brain washes the children. So sad this state of affairs.
Well penned. Best wishes for the contest. regards jada
