The author's words were humorous, fun, made me laugh, are descriptive
and creative. I enjoyed the read of these words. I thought about the
author's description of the adventure with the grandchildren! Thank you
for the author's notes - my grandchildren keep me smiling! The artwork
is awesome! Great poem!

I enjoyed this poem and thought he might end up a surfer or lifeguard,
but I'm glad that he has found enjoyment in fishing.
This verse is charming, humorous, light, and airy.
With all the intense news of the day, this is a perfect
way to start my evening.
The rhymes work well without force, creating a quick tempo
that flows like a children's story.
The photo adds life and dimension to the verse.
Thanks for sharing.

    Kitty, you are so sweet! And I appreciate you appreciating my poem. I just added a couple pictures that go with the poem as she was supposed to be the look out for him and her expression is so guilty! Thank you so much again my friend!

You make it easy for us to visualize Connor getting into trouble with water whether inside or out. You also describe your own reactions very well. Your meter and rhythm, however, is very inconsistent and it should be in a rhyming poem.

    Thank you Rod, but I edited this until the rhyme was in perfect scheme. I wonder if you read this with the few commas being your guide. I'd be interested to hear if that might have been the problem. And unfortunately we sometimes have to use some exaggeration to make our writing more interesting, he really did love his water. Yet I am a very particular grandma and watched them close. I do thank you for reading my poem and for the kind comments.

    Lol, I know, what a bad grandma! Actually I did watch them closer, and I might have added a little exaggeration, but they truly loved the water
    Thanks for the great review and fun comments my friend!.

This was very well written and I really enjoyed it! There's nothing more precious than grandkids, my grandmother raised me and even though she's passed on she still remains a constant inspiration for my writing

    Thank you so much Nikki and I had a lot of fun writing this slightly exaggerated poem of these silly kids. But they really did love their water!
