You got a lot going on here. You have a great picture of a cute kid and a very well-written poem that captures some memories and images of childhood. It is a pleasure to read. Good luck in the contest! Terry.

Shecis adorable and so is this delightful poem. You have very effectively described the sights and sounds that a child will hear when engaged in outdoor play. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

love this tribute to your grand daughter's first encounter with snow and ice and cold weather. I like the nickname June Bug and the reference to catching fireflies which i did as a child too. btw you have a glitch in the comments. I found that the preview mode solves most of this glitches. Which has plagued my work as well.

    Jake,
    Thank you for reading my poem and for your kind feedback. The issue with apostrophes and quotation marks is very frustrating. I added the notes after publishing based on feedback from other reviews. Couldn?t figure out how to fix it after publishing so just removed them.

And those beautiful "wide blue eyes" are so expressive with wonder at this snow covered world. It's a marvelous thing to observe the world through the fresh eyes of children who are just gaining their language skills. Beautifully done! Best wishes in the contest!

This work has reached the exceptional level

I really like this poem, a lot. That is definitely snow of the consistency required to make a snowman.

Throughout the poem she is understanding her surroundings and mixing and preserving those images and feelings through words in sealing jars. Like fireflies perfectly exemplifies that process.

A most enjoyable read today and I wish you great luck with the Committee. :))

That was a great poem along with a picture that will cherished forever to show to her in the future. It is great how you put main points of the poem into paragraphs so that way it also looks more like a story. Keep up the Great Work! -GTG345

Children have this amazing ability to notice the minute detail in life and adults should always listen to their innocent thoughts to take us back to reality. You did this here, I enjoyed your free write, love Dolly x

I love this poem about your granddaughter, along with her picture. You have captured her so well in words. I especially liked the last line. I think you mean abundance, instead of adundance? I hope it does well in the contest.

I like the picture. Your grand daughter is pretty and lovely. I'm sure her blue eyes make her more adorable. Definitely she looks happy and enjoys the snow.

You are wonderful in remembering when she was little, how she learned to speak and figure out what each words meant.

Grand children are always beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.
