Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Your minute poem was extended somewhat here. The sentiments of learning is a hard task for these little ones at first and then they are let loose on all those books! I struggles with the line: 'there's ball, there's prince". Love Dolly x

Hi Dolly. Thanks so much for your review and critique. I was hoping to show the impact of words on children learning to read. Much appreciated.
Comment from judiverse
It's such a wonderful time for children as they learn to read and write, and to treasure words. They do feel that "the world is mine" as they discover the joys of reading. It's so nice when Mom reads to the child, so they share the time together. Excellent work with the minute form, and you certainly show the impact of words on youngsters. Best of luck in the contest. judi

You're very welcome. It makes a lasting impact when children are exposed to reading early on. They're likely to be life-long readers. judi
Comment from Colin John
Not sure if this is Blind, but this is lovely and so well worked out, and as I have had my 10 and five year old granddaughters this weekend, even more special. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.
Kind regards Colin

Comment from Mistydawn
This is a cute little poem. Love the perspective from a little girls POV. It takes me back to when I was a little girl and how I couldn't wait for story time. It's well-written, very interesting good luck with your contest.

Comment from Joanna S. Blue
This is a charming poem. It beautifully captures the wonder and joy when a child sees how letters make words, have sound and form. I remember it - the excitement of reading something as basic as 'Oh look,' 'See funny Sally,' etc. You were reading! I just read another entry, completely different around this topic. The power of words to affect us, from learning what a word is to delivering a message with emotional content - it's profound!

Comment from Rachelle Allen
Ahhh, the beautiful blossoming of a learner/experimenter to a Real Reader!! Such a heartwarming time of life. When you were talking about making letters, it made me think of one of my piano students when she was five. She said, "I like making A's. I star with a U and then give it puffy hair." Isn't that darling?! Anyway, as perfect as this entry is, for me, the vintage-looking photo is the perfect cherry on top. Good luck to you in the contest. xo

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
While this takes a totally different approach to the required topic of how words impact people, I can see where you are coming from and think it quite clever. The general thread of how each word inspired the child running throughout certainly services the requirements and makes it stand out a bit from the pack. The rhyme and meter are solid and fluid. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.
