A very well-written family poem. The little kids around the table with starry eyes and beautiful smiles. A perfect picture of a happy family having fun together.

Comment from Oatmeal
Short and sweet ...just like I like them! Nicely effective and impressive. Very well reflected thoughts and expressions. Telling things very plainly and compre-
hensibly.
It's a very clean piece. I saw no typos or SPAG.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,
Oatmeal

Hi Oatmeal! Great to hear from you. Thank you for reading and commenting in my work through my years in FS.

The cubist style artwork complements your poem, which in itself opens the imagination. This is what all good poetry should do. Well done, Don and Vicki.

I like the metaphor of bright shiny neon lights for memories that grab our attention. Those days when children were little and the small joys of daily life are definitely worth remembering!

A great and well written poetry, I like each paragraph.
My fav:
Full table, loud kids
When their arms were little and their smiles were sunny.
Buttery hot biscuits bounce on their hands.
Sun on the patio, a butterfly to catch!
And a calm breeze on my face.

Comment from Lucian Carter
I like it, but family is hardly the focus. That may hurt it in the contest. I like the billboard analogy. "Nothing evening" is also intriguing. What makes a nothing evening? One can only ponder.

Thank you for reading this work and your comments in the billboard and "nothing evening." Very special.
Comment from Hopefully oppressed
It definitely makes me think of an evening at home with my wife and kids. it also reminds me that my kids are growing up, bitter sweet. I do not understand the warning. "The author has placed a warning on this post for sexual content."

Thank you for reading my work with much attention. The warning about sexual content was my mistake, I didn't notice it.

Wow! You painted a picture, a memory of love. I find no error in this poem but feelings and memories of my own. You did a great job, a poem of merit. Good luck on the contest. I like it very much.

I enjoyed this family kind of memory however, there was no sex that I could see so maybe I've misinterpreted what it is your wrote about. Good luck in your contest. xoxo Kiwi
