Hello,
I am just not taking my rules into consideration for this contest, anymore. I feel a bit disrespected, but nonetheless...
I was too strict about the form, asking for rhyme and quatrains... when in the poem, from the voice of a child, I should have let it be free form, if desired.
Your poem is 44 lines, although the contest required a maximum of 32, which you quoted in your author's notes.
I will simply be more careful next time I write a contest.
I did enjoy your poem, and kept waiting for something horrific... I was very satisfied, at the end, that there was nothing - and you did seem to actually have a happy childhood!
Thank you for your entry,
kristikim

What a delightful poem. Your words fairly skip down the page! I don't know if this is autobiographical, but I hope it is. You describe a childhood that everyone should have - one they can remember with happiness. The rhythm and rhyme were flawless. This one gets my vote. Blessings to you and best of luck in the contest, Linda

Your child like prose was perfect for the contest. I enjoyed looking back with you, as I related to some of those incidences myself. Your poem made me smile. Good luck in the contest. Judy

This is CHARMING!
What a delightful poem. I love the child's point of view.
The Ethop fables are so fun <-- this put a huge smile on my face. Adorable! Ethop LOL Fun children's language.
Your cute poem flows smoothly and has a joyous, lighthearted feel. It was quite enjoyable to read.
Best wishes in the contest.

I liked your poem but I'm terrified of lightning bugs so that was something that I would have hated if I would have been you. Anyways, good luck in the contest
