Hey ida I think you have captured the essence of the spoilt child very well and managed to find an excellent photograph to complement your poem. All the best to you in the contest from a fellow participant. Have a great day!

solid rhyming couplets
I love the closing where poor little spoiled Walter is presented with a baby brother he will have to share with LOL
Your examples of the spoiled things he does are all vivid and fun :-) Brooke

Great title and pic for your poem. Great poem! Yur poem flows well, and has good rhyme. Yu followed the prompt well. I love this poem. Unfortunately, it is very true with a lot of kids. I've known a few children and families like this. I call it "only child syndrome" I wish you luck in the contest

Good luck with your entry. I liked it. I enjoyed the cadence and the rhyme. It was cleverly done. And the twist at the end was delightful and shocking from the child's point of view. And I'm glad you finished it there with silence. Making the shock of the child more dramatic. Thank you.

I'm not really liking whiny Walter either:D But you sure pegged him well with great imagery. I'm just awfully glad I never knew one like him.....

Well penned and not a delight but perfect for this contest.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.
