What a great entry for the competition. You create very concrete imagery with your first line and complete the thought beautifully with the second line, making a wonderful, complete image of a sleeping infant. Beautiful.

This is well-described but IMO feels a little expected from the imagery. You've got two syllables to spare, and IMO an unusual adjective would make it a bit stronger, because as it is it feels like the obvious image from the first line of the poem.

More a matter of preference/taste than anything else though, so feel free to disregard!

Hi skye

This one is just so easy for me to visualize. It's quite beautiful, and it has the strength of a good haiku. I am always amazed at how two lines can say so much and I am a real fan of haiku, hence lots of books in the bookshelf! I enjoyed, good luck in the contest. Marion.

And what's not to love about those beautiful, little bee-stung lips as they dream wonderful dreams of the sweet milk and comfort of Mother. Well done and good luck in the contest.

Wow, how dynamite is this. I am not sure whether to be in awe of the babe or let my mind wander. I think this really meets the requirements...for both.

You've done well with your two lines. Nothing to complain about. Good luck in the voting booth
