    I must confess to you that writing is emotional for me. I have no idea why my writing is more emotional than most other areas of my life. As you may guess, Brelynn is more emotional to me than most of my writings! So it?s with a special sense of appreciation that I thank you for your wonderful five star review. It?s only been the last couple of years that I have attempted to write because I?ve never been encouraged to do so. I want to thank you so very much for your kind words of support, and the gentle words of correction. I need both to help make me the kind of writer with broad appeal. May God bless you!

This is a lovely, true to life poem. It is always a lovely experience when a new baby is due to arrive. I sincerely hope this little one will be fine. It was an enjoyable read with a nice rhyme

Hello excited grandma-to-be,

the lines of your poem ooze with anticipation and excitement. I sense your joy and share in it.

Nice rhyme scheme.

until uncle Jadon;... I guess this means Uncle Jadon made the announcement? This line is a weeny bit ambiguous.

God bless mother-to-be and baby. And you, too, dear Grandma! Best wishes for the contest.

Love,

Sonali :)


When they knew there babe was in route ... did you mean 'en route'?

It may be good to make an author note that in US English 'route' rhymes with shout. In British/Canadian/ Australian, 'route' is pronounced 'root'.
This way, you protect yourself from unnecessary critical brickbats!

    You are exactly right. Jadon made the announcement on video and over 17,000 people have seen it. I must confess to you that writing is emotional for me. I have no idea why my writing is more emotional than most other areas of my life. As you may guess, Brelynn is more emotional to me than most of my writings! So it?s with a special sense of appreciation that I thank you for your wonderful five star review.

    You are very welcome Dr. Nad; I am a self taught poet, please read my bio. It will shine a little insight about me; I?m 57 and just started teaching myself grammar and punctuation; I taught my self to read on a dare when I was 16 years old. Now I just love words. On word can make or break a person if manipulated right. I think it?s the manipulation I enjoy most, but I don?t know for sure; all I know is I love words and poetry is a great way to release. Anyway it?s an awesome poem. Write On! VaV-VOOM!

    I did read your Bio and I applaud you for your courage to try new and wonderful things! I noticed in your portfolio that you have won or placed in a bunch of contests. Well Done Poet!

    Embrace the love from above!

Now picking out gender is down to a science. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read. There is very good imagery.

I enjoyed your story in a poem. The artwork is perfect. When paired with your words, they create a memorable poem. I like the author notes, although I did not have a problem with reading it without the bold words. Good job on the prompt & great rhyme.

Best wishes in the contest.

Thanks for sharing. Jan

Hello, poet,

What a wonderful poem about grandchildren. I have two granddaughters that are my pride and joy so I know how you feel.

I love this stanza:

At this point it's pins and needles,
arrival could be any day.
As a family we unite,
asking God to bless you. We pray!

It's so true! Good job, my friend.

1st best of luck for you and the baby. This was a touching and tender poem about the anticipation of the arrival and the faith and hardships too. I had no issues at all with the flow.

What a joyful, emotion packed write :-)

The underlying excitement is palpable - and the use of bold font
did indeed improve finding the flow (just for kicks I copied
and pasted it to a blank sheet, then removed all the bold words - it
flows so much more naturally with the author directing the read :-)

Best of luck in the contest...AND with the imminent arrival :-)
