Comment from Joan E.
I am glad you were inspired by the contest to create this poem, because you told a clever story in a poem. I enjoyed your rhymed quatrains, reference to "Grandma" and the perfect picture. Big cheers- Joan

Comment from tfawcus
Much better without those extra 915 words!
I'm getting quite used to a 2-year old Teagan arriving at my bedside at 7 a.m., tugging at the coverlet and saying, "Up, Grandpa, up!" No amount of hiding under the bedclothes will deter her!
They're off back to New York in a couple of days. The house will seem very quiet again when they leave!
What a delightful poem, with just the rhythm to go with the irrepressible sense of fun.

Comment from Jacob Matlof
Wow! This is so funny! It reminds me of my grandparents a little. Amazing! Maybe add why the kids came home that night. Was it late at night? This is really exceptional.

Comment from Joy Graham
Hello,
I mess up contest instructions all the time.
This is a cute poem :)
- "she (coved) up her head" - should that be covered?
She didn't want to play hide and seek with her grandkids in the middle of the night? It's the ideal time for them to find a warm hiding spot and fall asleep so you can all sleep.

Comment from Bichon
A very good poem with a surprising ending. I thought perhaps there was a robber in the house, but turned out to just be the grandkids. Good one haha!

Comment from Teri7
Linda, I really enjoyed reading and reviewing this poem. I would have loved it as a poem of this length. I am not into the really long things, like thousands of words. Too hard to write at times! love, Teri

Well despite not getting the contest minimum of words in, it is a great read! The prompt led you to a very enjoyable poem and I loved reading it!!
Keep it up I'd love to read more of your work.

Comment from damommy
Those pesky instructions. Sometimes, I misread them, too.
Interesting take on not locking the door. I know the feeling. lol
she coved up her head - should be covered up her head.
