Well written and quite cute in the final lines. Always the little ones want to know what we are doing and why they are not included. You have told a fine story in these lines. Good job.

As a grandparent you had just one job. The job of a grandparent is to teach the grandkids how to be the same kind of nuisance that their parents were, so that when they go home the bug the heck out of their parents and give you of the revenge you so richly deserve.

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Hi Linda.
I enjoyed your poem and have to say it's always easier to write from the heart than to write for a set subject contest.
I enjoyed your tale and often feel like hiding myself as altogether I could have '12 ' hunters' seeking me out Lol.
:-) Shirley

Comment from Dan Diego
Nice and light poem that tells a story. Sorry you missed the prompt. Your story would've drawn a lot of attention to poets who vote. I liked your poem because it had a twist near the end. Most of the entries went for the sinister theme, where an unlocked door leads to murder and mayhem. In your poem, you switch gears give us granny's perspective. Somehow, though, I don't think you really hide from grandkids. Great poem, thanks for posting and thanks for the generous reward for reviewing.

Comment from Liberty Justice
So, you decided not to enter this poem in contest, since you were short a few words? So sorry! Your poem is so entertaining and amusing about locking your door when grandkids come around; but, then, you know they want to play with grandma. liberty justice

Comment from Ulla
Oh dear, so instead of writing a piece of prose of at least a 1000 words you ended up writing this little gem of a poem, that couldn't be entered into the contest. I liked it a lot. All the best. Ulla:)))

Comment from sibhus
I can't believe they would expect you to come up with a thousand word poem, but what the heck this is really good. It's a fun poem, as well as a life lesson, ha, ha. Good stuff there, Raven.

Comment from Cedar
You know girl, after reading each other's poems for several years, I think this is probably the best one of yours that I've ever read.
I really believe that this would have won any contest that you entered it in. It's got great rhyming, great rhythm and the words just roll right off the reader's tongue. In other words, this is a "hell of a good poem."
I think it needs to be nominated for "Poem of the Month" and I'm serious when I say that. Most of the poems that win are good poems, but they're not written with the feelings or meaning that this one was. And, they don't come straight from the heart like yours does.
So, I'm starting a campaign right now for this one to be nominated for the Poem of the Month contest. Hopefully, some of the committee members will read this and say, "Old Bill is right."
Keep writing Adewpearl, oh, I'm sorry, I mean Linda. Great stuff old friend...Bill

Hey Linda: I'm doing fine so far, thanks for asking. We're having the worse winter that we've had in years. Right now we're getting freezing rain with 4 to 6 inches of snow predicted on top of the ice. When it's like this, I stay in the house and only go out when I absolutely have too.
How are you doing? Are you still in Florida or back home in Illinois? I hope you're Mom is doing alright.
You take care of yourself and if you're back in Illinois get ready for a rough winter. Talk to you later my friend...Bill
Comment from Dean Kuch
Well, I'll bet you she never made that mistake again, Linda.
So, a valuable lesson was learned, if nothing else.
You know what they say. There's always silver lingering luring behind every dark cloud.
Good write.

Comment from Cycler
A beautiful story it is! And your other story is very nice, too. I think you should have entered this ... after all, a picture tells a thousand words! So, you actually had more than was requested :-)
