A very well-written 1-6-1 poem about toys that only bring joy to children either girl or boy and the most of the time adding their own twist of imagination to their play.

You captured the essence of a child enjoying his toy. In such limitations you did an excellent job. The picture adds to your poem. Together they make a wonderful presentation. Good luck in the contest.

I like this simple poem that tells a truth in 8 syllables. You did a great job to express the simple joy that could bring to the kids.

Well done and good luck in the contest.

Heads up: All three lines must rhyme--sugg: tweak line two to end in Boy e.g. Brings to each girl and boy--this is a nice bit of whimsy but will be disqualified as is.

I see you fixed it!

A lovely piece, well written. The innocence of it all is beautiful. Great choice of words and the photo is cute. Only two lines rhyme but you nailed the 1-6-1 rule. Good luck

Your poem says it all. I loved the picture and the joy that you see in the child's face playing with the toy...and it is true at any age. We all love our toys and like to take a break from work and play.
