This is a charming poem of flying in sleep. I sometimes DO have these dreams, which it seems that you may also have. They say we are "astral traveling" during these dreams. Your poem flows and rhymes well. I think this is a nice poem for anyone, not only a child. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

These simply rhymed quatrains have an easy flow and show a child's whimsical dream of all things lovable and it seemed a prophetic dream.

Good luck in the contest.

Keep writing

I love children's rhymes. I like the rhyming and flow of your poem. I like the idea
of the stars changing colors. Also the idea of the stars being dogs and dolphins.
And then, you have the child being compared to a hummingbird acting quickly.
I think children will enjoy this poem very much. I sure did. As a teacher of
young children I can visualize them smiling as your poem is being read.

A very good contest entry. I hope you do well. It is hard to win contests. The writing is so arbitrary. It takes skill and some luck.

I do love children's poetry and I loved your poem, a child's poem works well with your rhyming scheme. Imagine seeing coloured stars! I love the security of the last line 'to kiss me on my cheek'. Mattie

This is a wonderful children's rhyme. The poem flows well with a great rhyming pattern. The rhythm works as a sing-song and I could see reading this to my grand babies as a bed time story. Good luck in the contest.

This embodies all that is wonderful about the precious childhood years and the child's powerful imagination filled with magic and wonder - world populated by beautiful and exotic creatures

This is a beautiful children's rhyming poem, I enjoyed unrestricted rhymes, dreaming and the objects in the dream and playful feeling and emotion of dreamful enjoyment of having kissing which happened in reality.

I imagine many children dream of flying and would enjoy reading your poem. I like how the Speaker's adventure is described and how when he returns to bed his mother's there to kiss him goodnight. Good cadence and use of ABCB. Rhyming.
