Thank you, Gazza! I'm pleased you liked it, we never know the underlying reasons or circumstances for a childs behaviour. Thank you for the nice comments. xsx

Some children do not get as much attention as the family's pet. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

A lovely poem about a spoilt boy. Well written. I enjoyed your image and layout too. The rhythm and rhyme was good. I am sure it will do very well. I see no need of obvious corrections. CG.

Deaer Sandra,
Good solid metre and excellent rhyme. I gather from the last stanza that you are sekking some excuses for the brat's general behaviour and I am sure that in so many cases it is the parents fault, not the kid's. I am a firm believer in "nurture NOT Nature". Good luck in the comp..

Thank you, Reg for your lovely review, and for the good luck wishes. I do believe that in the majority of cases, not all, that parents are at fault when it comes to the behavior of their children. Lack of love, giving material things as a substitute for their own inadequacies to provide the love children need. I know there are lots of reasons and some just stem down to the child having a nasty streak in them. Fortunately I was blessed with wonderful parents and also blessed with wonderful sons.
Don't I keep on!!!!! Thank you again, Reg, your words are so appreciated. xsx Sandra.

Comment from Tina McKala
The end of a poem gave it a nice and unexpected twist. I liked that you showed that everything has some reason. The poem itself was great, when it comes to its structure, rhymes or flow! I really liked it! Tina

Comment from Gloria ....
This is very well written poem sandra. It made me feel pretty sad for the poor young fella. Being rendered invisible is about the worst thing a young child or any aged person for that matter can feel. Your rhyme scheme is good, cadence great, a different tone and overall very nicely done.
I wish you all the best in the contest.

A lovely poem expressing the benefits of mannerism.
This world would be a lot better off if it was made mandatory for everyone to receive with a grateful attitude.

Comment from adewpearl
excellent rhyming couplets including good proximate rhymes like own/home and sauce/course
good alliteration in pampered pet
lot's of strawberry - drop the apostrophe
good consonance of L sounds in lonely friendless child
a thoughtful story about why some children are spoiled by parents who have money to throw at them but no attention to give
