We all used to love LEGO in my childhood. IT must have been around forever. From what you write here there are more different things to make. You could easily overspend.

Lego Land has popped up everywhere. I thought it was just in Europe. Recently, I found out it was in Orlando. I would love to visit it someday. Great author notes. Great form. Good rhymes. Enjoyable read. Excellent work.

I went to the EMP in Seattle today. They advertised a Fantasy, Horror, Sci-fi Collection. It's a small collection, but it was wonderful.
LegoLand is probably a place to visit when I'm married with kids. But I'm glad they're everywhere now. Goodnight :)

Thanks Preston.

This sounds like a paradise to a child. Lego blocks bring out the creativity in young people. Whoever invented this toy knew what they were doing. Your poem flowed so well telling the story of this place. Good job ! Sararb

This poetry is a fun read. The words are descriptive
and paint vivid images. The rhymes are selected and
arranged nicely. Thank You for your creation.
I live in San Diego, where the Lego Land theme park
is located.

Your quatrains about LEGO Land have a nice even tempo and perfect rhyme.
The hand's on lego court is a great idea, allowing the parents to shop.
I bet the money goes quickly. My son loved these blocks.

Thank you. Yeah, they dazzle you with the impressive creations to tempt you, then let your children pressure you to spend. it a fabulous marketing technique. That's why I added the warning at the end.

That's the beauty of Lego Land, your imagination takes over. Not like these X-Box games where they fill that in for you. Lego is pure creativity, much like writing poetry. Thanks for sharing. Les

I am giving this 5 stars because I always wanted to go to Lego Land in San Diego and never made it there in spite of living there for a year. Humorous ending couplet. I think the stanza about letting your little children play has a small disconnect as the next part is about letting 'their' parents play. I would just change 'their' to 'the' because if 'you' are also letting them play, then 'the' would just include both 'you' and 'them' instead of putting it all under 'their' and excluding the children that belong to 'you.' Hope that makes sense.
