That was Quite cute, I loved it. Poor little girl, It breaks my heart to see young ones feel left out in any way, for something not their fault. It rhymed beautifully.
Good Luck. ~Kerry~

This is well written it shows that some children are picked on because of what they look like but they don't let it get them down all they need is a chance in life I enjoyed good luck regards Jill

Very poignant. I find many children and young adults are, by nature, selfish and short sighted. As was I and now I watch my daughter make assumptions and react without thought and I have to stop and understand her small world and position of privilege. Then do my best to educate her.

This is a poem which teaches several lessons. That bullying is bad and that even the poor can be seen as rich if they have a happy home. The speaker is a strong person who sees that giving of oneself is important even if you don't have a lot to begin with.

Good luck in the contest.

Keep writing.

I love the way you've told this story of this child, though they don't have much money in other ways she's a winner. Nicely told and a good moral to this story too, good luck in the contest,
cheers

Hello author, A poem for all times. Sadly, some things in this world never change, and child hunger is one of them. I especially liked:

"Just walk a mile in my shoes...
I'm not different from you!
You just got lucky; caught some breaks,
And now here's what I'll do.

(Amen.)

Also:
And trust me, once you see my truth,
You'll see me as a winner."

(Hopefully. In today's generation, some think/feel that its "cool" to be mean.)

Wonderful artwork choice. Silky rhyming. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Reads very smoothly, and about a subject easy to understand. Of course, there may be a Freudian slip - "You guys come home with me sometime. We'll share what all we do!" Oh, what some girls will do to get the boys in the house! lol.

Being steep in poverty does not make one poor if they still have the heart to try to improve themselves. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

This takes me back to my own childhood. We weren't poor but my mother dressed us with clothes from another lifetime. Because we were different.

We had values and family life instead.

Wonderful write of the richness of spirit that the poorer people have build into their very core
