Comment from His Grayness
Arriving just one review too late to share the last sixth star so very well deserved in this lovely work. The packaging here is exceptionally well done and captures the reader immediately into the proper mood to delight in the lovely script. This work is outstanding in all ways and I cannot offer anything to improve it in any way. My regrets for being short of the well-deserved sixth star! HIS GRAYNESS Vance

Comment from livelylinda
Hey Tony! I loved this poem and picture. For me, it describes the many, many stories read at bedtime to my three daughters . . . flooded me with memories. I could almost hear soft lullabies being played in the background. I see that you have a new grandchild? Grandchildren are SO special. And, now, I also have a 5 year old great-grandson; can't even explain in words how special he is! God Bless you, may His light shine upon you and be mercible. Linda

Comment from frierajac
This is very sweet. The feminine rhymes please the painting which is apropos with the theme. It has the swaying and rocking feeling of a lullaby. I haven't found the roundel in my reading, except by example, with the A&B repeated(3x's) with some change on the final line.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork.
-Good poem about the
story being told to the child.
-The mother is obviously caring and loving,
"The child is safe with her caressing"
-The mother's kiss is also compared to a lamb.
-A good entry; good luck in the contest.

I am glad to hear it was based on Anna and Teagan. That puts so much more meaning on the poem. You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Tony.
Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
the monster's slain, no more oppressing,
her mother's prayers will keep him dead.
The child is safe with her caressing,
as now with love she breathes her blessing,
a benison on silken head.'Such a beautiful poem, good luck with this wonderful entry, I particularly enjoyed the above lines kindest regards Meiax

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
This is a lovely interpretation of the contest requirements - a mother's love. I think this will be only one of its kind. Lovely use of simile using the lamb's tail. And good use of metaphor in 'her mother's prayers will keep him dead'. A very nice, gentle love poem - 'a benison on silken head' - lovely line. Good Luck. Dorothy

Comment from krys123
Cheers, Tony;
-after reading your author's notes I found that your effective way of manipulating or altering the rhyme scheme animating the middle repetition did not hinder, in any way, the smoothness and fluidity of reading your poem. In fact I found no way of form that is hindered the enjambment which flowed smoothly throughout the writing without a syntactical break or hiccup in the reading and understanding of your poem.
-This is a different approach of a romantic love between the child and its mother and a well adapted Outlook, also.
-Mr. Kendall's artistic form and picture is definitely relevant and supportive to the conceptual theme of your poem and a great choice as it lends itself to the romantic understanding between the child and its mother.
-A lighthearted but very lovable poem that is excellent for the contest in which I wish you all the luck in the world.
-Thanks for sharing and take care and have a good one especially with all the ones that you love.
Alex
