Comment from TAB_that's me

Good

I thought this started off really interesting but got lost somewhere along the way - going from the pains of growing up (so true) and lessons learned to someone going away and this part got a bit repetitive being repeating too many times.

I ran out of sixes!! Fantastic stuff.

The board of education needs to be applied to our nation as one big family.

For or against corporal punishment, It is needed, badly, sadly that is a sure fired way to learn between good and bad

Hi Brett,

Your poem is written really well and the rhyming in it is wonderful. It tells a great story about growing up although it also made me sad. I had a dad who was always so nice to my friends, but he didn't like me much because he wanted a son not a daughter.

We applied the so called board of education too.
It was a slender switch that stung....but my husband used the belt...maybe I can count on one hand how many times he had to use it. But when he did it counted. Well penned...there was sadness too
God bless

Excellent

In my opinion, an excellent tribute to constructive corporal discipline in almost perfect rhyme - the rhyme would have been perfect, but for the uneven rhythm created by unnecessary prepositional words. This is so very easily corrected, by reading and rereading this waiting masterpiece aloud several times, objectively, and omitting the aforementioned described words...
