The beauty of this poem is that is taken from an everyday occurence and vaulted to this well developed poem. I like the meter and the rhyme scheme. Nice.

Hi there your poem is nicely constructed although i feel it is more for the mother to let out especially with the last line. I always think that a poem for child is sweet and fun. Anyway i wish you the best in the contest.

Poet,
Yout poem is splendidly written with concrete imagery. The art work is priceless you used. I like the unique give and take of mom and child about going out in the rain. I personally dig dancing in the rain. Your poem is creative with excellent allitetation, fine metaphor, great rhyme and meter, strong rhythmic flow and very good poetic word structure. I like your two way narrative. I enjoyed your third stanza the best: "But Mom, the rain is great getting wet is not bad I won't stay out too late staying in makes me sad" I wish you good luck in the Children's Rhyming Poem writing prompt contest. I will endorse your poem a must read. I will recommend your poetic gem to other reviewers. Nice day to you.
Missy.

It is done well, but I find it hard to believe. Is it meant ot be ironic? Generally now it is nearly impossible to get children to go outside and leave their technology behind.

It would be nice for rythm of the poem to say "then, those sniffles and a cough".

ADn the last stanza, though I know it is a parent lsoing patience, I think it would be better for a child to hear something like:

I don't want to argue
on this cold and rainy day
so get a deck of cards
and together we will play.

I know the title says Don't Agrue with Mom, but the way you have it end does not seem a kind way to talk to a child, nor the way you want to teach a child to talk back to you.

It is short and sweet. It has a good flow and I loved the arguments you brought out between mother and son. However I feel that the end is not very solid. As in it does not correlate with the title of the poem.
If you could have introduced an incident that brings out the title of the poem, I feel your poem will carry more weight.
Otherwise its well written and well rhymed.
Good luck with the contest! :)

A very cute poem for children. I am a child, even I argue with my mom like that. I'm pretty sure every child will enjoy reading your poem.
