She Didn't Lock Her Door

Really good poem (and I'm so pleased it took a much lighter turn than I'd initially braced myself for :) ).
Nothing I'd suggest to improve, a lovely wrote.
Well done, and take care.

Comment from judiverse
Aw, I bet she was glad to see the grandchildren, even if they showed up unexpectedly. You might want to put quotation marks around "Grandma get out of bed would you come and play a gam?" since the children are saying that. Bad things often happen when people don't lock the door. Clever rhyme and a great ending. This is a clever poem, even though not a contest entry. I don't think it was meant for poems. judi

Comment from Pantygynt
This is great fun. Starting off weith a "things that go bump in the night feel" there is a neat and amusing switch at the end when the "bump" is revealed as the grandkids. Why is it that kids are so happy to get up at the crack of dawn on holiday and so difficult to peel off the pillows when school is back in session?

Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi there;
Thank you for sharing this cute little poem about Grandma's lack of sleep. This doesn't apply to me; I'm the Grammy who wakes up before the kids and impatiently waits for them to come and play. (Maybe it's because I only get to see them twice a year.)
Wonderfully written and constructed. Well done,
~patty~

I'll not concern myself with prompts and lengths, I'll just say, smooth poetry with a humor twist, a pleasure to read and easy to review. Fivers.

Hello Linda, I can relate to this verse being a grandfather myself; excellent rhyming. By the way, I also entered the contest and there was no word-count requirement....I think.

If I didn't know better, I would think this was written from personal grandma-experience. hahaha! But I know that is not possible, because Linda is allllll peace and love and charity and ....what did I forget? (Oh, yeah! The snickering and giggling and silliness!) hahahaha!
Thanks! Fun!

Comment from Alec Gould
Very nice rhythm throughout. Great start, flowed till the end with a humorist's ending. Yes, very nice. Thank you! (Oh, I also liked your "explanation" about being a few words short. :) )
Have a great week my friend! ~Alec

Aww, what a refreshing change your poem gave to the unlocked door story.
You had me scared and then I got to the end and read about those wound up grand kids and REALLY quaked with fear. :-)
Delightful tale!
