Toni: your words and picture remind me of all the times I have looked at a very young child who is barely talking and wondered how and what floats in and out of their immature minds?? You have said this so eloquently within this poem. Lovely work and congrats on winning the contest. Linda

Good morning Fawcus:
This poem is exceptional and I just used my last six star but your poem is so worthy. I see that you have won first prize with this remarkable poem. I also see that once again you are sharing a picture of perfection, your grand daughter. I am so happy that you have your grandaughter. it is such a very special relationship. If you have read my poem "Grand Mom's Lost" then you already know that I have not seem my only grandchild since before my oldest son (grandchild's father) passed away. My grandson was four years old then. He is now thirteen years old.
Anyway, let me get back on the subject. Your poem is amazing.
CONGRATULATIONS.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
This is a perfect explanation for this photo of your gorgeous grand daughter Tony. You often see the littlies in these pensive expressions and wonder what on earth they could be thinking. Great Rondelet and a perfect refrain line.
cheers,

Your Rondelet relates an interesting point, that is, youngsters learning a language from scratch as they word-find to make coherent talk. We think it comes so easily to babies, but does it? Nicely done with photo of beautiful Teagan. Marilyn

Many thanks, Marilyn. I always value your kind words and support. They certainly seem to be hot-wired for success, when it comes to language learning. I think my abilities in that direction must have blown a fuse! Best wishes, Tony
Comment from For better for verse
Thought this was an excellent piece of writing.
I am new to Fanstory and in awe of some of the works that I read, this was very good indeed.
You are some way further up the Fan story 'ladder' than me, I intend to catch up, but with work like this it won't be easy.
Great job.

Tony, you've written an excellent Rondelet, giving voice to the child, unable to express those thoughts, but who likely is experiencing them.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sallyo
You did find the perfect picture to go with this poem. I'm not all that familiar with the form, but as far as I can tell you have fitted it. I like the use of the word "accrue" which fits the sense and also adds a touch of the unusual to the piece. The repeating lines (yes, I know they have to be there) actively support the idea because they draw attention to the main point.
South Aus, eh? My son, a RAAFie, is stationed there at present.

Thanks very much for your review, Sallyo, and your comments about the poem. Much appreciated. I guess your son would be at RAAF Edinburgh, up to the north of the city. All the best, Tony

That's the place. He trained there years ago and now he's back there.

Hello Tfawcus,
It's a nice piece of poetry meeting the desired norms, and beautifully depicting its theme.
Perfectly matching the theme phraseology.
Smooth and spontaneous flow with lovely rhyming scheme.
Picture enhances beauty of the poem.
