I am delighted you enjoyed the poem, Patricia, and yes, those hormonal changes baffled us boys when we were pre-teens. Rod

Hi
That growing up thing will mess a person up every time. Just when a kid has a good bud, they go and change right in front of their eyes.
Creative and well presented.
Good luck in the contest.
Cheers & Blessings

Comment from Judy Couch
This is excellent. It has great rhyme and rhythm. It tells a story about a kid growing up. I loved the way it ended with her being "Stephanie" after she entered her teens. Cute!

What a perfectly written contest entry! I enjoyed the wonderful visuals you created. I could "see" Stevie as she out shined the boys and her rough and tumble demeanor. Much like losing a childhood pal because they move away, the sadness was evident and well presented at the end of your piece. You made an excellent picture choice and I think this is a winner!!! Kindly, Judy

A charming poem of Stevie turning into Stephanie and, I think, appreciation of that transition. Well written, rhymes well, interesting content. Love the image accompanying the poem.

Funny how these wooly caterpillars sometimes turn to
butterflies. This was well done and reminiscent of a girl
familiar to almost anyone's childhood. Good luck in the contest.

Well written story about growing up with Stevie. Maybe, she liked sports and had parents that taught her. I liked sports growing up, not Barbies. I could tackle the guys in football and crack the whip in ice skating. This all helped me in school sports, not Barbies. I like your swimming stars and swan dives for alliteration. I like the image of the three sixties, wow, talent! She will keep her talents but maybe, be a coach for kids. Good entry! flylikeaneagle

When I was in high school, I competed in synchronized swimming. When my daughters were young, I taught them to swim. Now, I teach water aerobics and yoga-pilates to people. Enjoy your day. flylikeaneagle

The changed from being young to adolescents is quick. Morphing into a teenager is mind boggling. This is very well written with an interesting flow of words.

That "morphing" was certainly mind-boggling to Pete. Thank you for your thoughtful review and kind praise.
