Hi Brooke,

What a terrific poem for the kiddies and us big kids as well. Of course a wizard was responsible for the golden result. Unfortunately, he clips hair from the children while they're asleep to speed up the growth of the flowers. Aren't I awful, hee hee.

Hugs,
Lou

Rain can be wonderful to watch and listen to, especially during childhood. You describe the wonders of nature so well. Best of luck, as always, in the contest!! Evi

Absolutely lovely rhythm to this poem, you can feel the rain mounting up and you progess thorough the beautiful description of nature and the Wizards, welcoming the rain. Beautiful storytelling throughout, enjoyable for both young and old alike xxCrunchie.

This is a wonderful poem and portrays vividly the magic of rain and how it creates flowers with its nourishment. But then it was wizards at work to make the perfect lawn as the children laugh. Well done, Brooke.

Another great one Brooke. Children will love this and you have put that human element of Grandpa and Grandma which children always pay attention too.
good quatrains with rhymed couplets

Exceptional rhythm dominates this charming piece for me, Brooke. The verses with the rain and the countining just called me to read with a rain drumming rhythm. Lovely work.

Grandpa's way to logical, and probably can't explain how the seed thing actually works anyway. Grandma knows a thrifty explanation (amusing too) and delivers flowers. You worked those seven syllables maxed. Kenny

Like a child, young or old, I choose to believe the wizards made the gold. Your poem is lots of fun and surely made me smile. You definitely make a rainy day fun, and full of action.
