Oh, Brooke, this is so charming. It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy ... When I read the title, I knew I would like this one, but it's so much more than I expected. Hugs, Lou

The perfect combination when you know it is going down the right spot. I have to laugh, for this really fits the core of childhood. Cute.

To adewpearl,
It's nice to experiment and have fun tasting different concoctions.
Very good cadence and proximate rhyming: please/ seas; goo/you

Pickles and ketchup...wow that's a new combo but I can see a kid lovin' it. I'd want to throw a flame broiled burger along with it and I'd be happy.
All I can truly comment about this poem, since yours never really need critique, is that Sawyer is a lucky boy to have your gift of writing poetry as part of his life. One day these poems will mean the world to him and his Mama.
Made me smile...

Of course, pickles go with ketchup and pants without pockets are a no-no! Your love for your grandchild shines through your poetry. Best of luck in the contest! Evi

A love poem which Sawyer's preferences, besides smiling & his giggles, which I agree, he seems so happy, along with some of his favorite foods comprised in your poem. And Yes, those pockets for his pants, being a really good way to hold his keys....Best Wishes for your entry.

A sweet and sour entry for sure! Loved the unlimitedness of "as waves in the sea." You can never have too much laughter, unless it's after bedtime...

Children will enjoy this little ditty, Brooke, as it reminds them of how things we love come in pairs. I especially like the pairs chosen in stanza 3, kids, of course, will giggle over stanza 4. Another fun poem toread. Rod
