A creative and original piece. A little too much repetition for me. Good visuals. The rhymes are simple but good. A fun piece for kids though. Thanks for sharing.

    Yes, it is a bit repetitious for adults, but this type of cumulative rhyme is great for young children. Thank you for your comments and review. Hugs.

This is a nicely written rhyming poem. It has a nice flow and rhyme scheme. I love your repeating line. And run with my fairy friend flying by me. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

I have never seen this type of poem here. It shows all the things a child can do outside on a summer's day. I hope the fairy is having as much fun as the child. I like the added sound effects for emotions at the end.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.

Leann,

I like how you have chosen to write a children's poem for the rhyming contest. You've done a great job on it. It sure does have a lot of fun rhymes and I like how you keep adding one rhyme on top of the last
repeating line.

Seems like it would be fun to read to young children. I liked this part:

"I smell the flowers,
Stay out for hours...

I skip on a log,
I hop like a frog...

I go for a ride,
I glide down the slide..."

Those were the days, huh?

Best wishes in the contest,
Anna

    Thank you so much for reading my poem and for your thoughtful comments. Sometimes, I wish I could just take an entire day and go slide down a slide over and over! :-)

    Maybe we should. I was thinking of starting a contest or club for children's poetry. I don't mind if you beat me to it.

I'm sure your grandchildren will always remember with fondness that their grandfather is/was a poet. I'm sure they will frame this poem or put it in their scrapbooks.

I can see lots of girls in those names, 9 girls and just one boy, I'll bet they're all precious, but don't spoil the boy too much, we have a mere five grands, 4 boys and just one girl, but all precious. Well done with this kiddies rhyming poem, I'm impressed, well done, good writing, blessings Roy

    Thank you, Roy, for your complementary review and rating. Yes, nine girls followed by one loan little baby in blue. They're all spoiled, to be honest. :-) Ain't grandkids the best?!

Hello :)
I really enjoyed this cute poem.
It would make a lovely children's book - I think that children would enjoy reading along with a grown up and would probably learn the lines (and sound effects/actions!) by heart after a couple of read throughs :)
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes, Debra

What a precious poem you wrote for your grandchildren. When I was a pre school teacher, I could just see myself using your poem for responsive reading with the kids, having them memorize the rhyming lines. Great job!

    When I was writing this, I not only thought of my grandchildren, but also of my preschool classes. I owned and operated a preschool for two years, but our location was bad and we couldn't keep going any longer. I really loved and miss that job. Thank you for your comments. Hugs.

A fun to read Children's Poem. I love the repeating lines and this sing/song sound that the well chosen words make.

Well done. I'm sure those grandchildren love it too.

Blessings
Janet

I really enjoyed reading this lovely poem. I gather it is aimed at children as the repitition is so suitable for kids. I wish you lots of luck in the rhyming competition. Jen.
