Ah, Grandpas are wise, and I should know!

This is a sweet little poem in rhyming couplets portraying some of the things you remember best about your Grandpa - love, lofe lessons and a little necessary firmness.

Good luck in the contest.

Steve

It is obvious that your grandpa had a profound impact on your life. I like that you can convey that message without making the poem too long or even too extravagant with your word choice. It does have a clear rhythm that struggles in a couple of places simply because the syllable count is off between the two lines in the couplet. For example, in the fourth stanza, second line, you can easily remove the word both. No meaning is taken away and it improves the rhythm. It is a beautiful tribute to your grandpa.
