You have a good looking boy. A very good contest entry. I hope you do well. It is hard to win contests. The writing is so arbitrary. It takes skill and some luck.

Congrats on winning this contest with this loving, astute and observant short poem. Captures a mom's love and a deep faith in ultimate interconnection. Fine phonetics with F and S sounds. no nits but I do recommend a dash between the last two lines (just a thought).


Warmly, rd

Hi, Patty

Congratulations on the contest win with this pleasing tribute to your son. Each line highlights the close bond between you and there is no doubt he is truly loved.

I like the romanticism of that middle line.
