This poem is just wonderful, Beth. So many of the memories were like mine. I enjoyed every verse. I couldn't pick out a favorite verse. You were certainly on a roll. A six for sure. The picture was well chosen too.xxx Nancy:)

Thank you so much Nancy. Too bad we didn't know each other as little girls. It sounds like we would have liked the same things. I really appreciate those six stars.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I enjoyed reading your rhyming contest entry. The rhyming scheme was very good. I remember some of the same things. Children of today doesn't have it nearly as wonderful. Thank you for sharing and good luck.

What a beautifully written, interesting story/ poem, sharing all the wonderful memories that you have. Your word choice, the description made me feel like I was there with you, stepping back in a more peaceful, quieter time. I wish I had a six to give, but I'm all out.

What an enjoyable journey back in time through different mores and ways -it's essentially a social history taken through poetic stanzas -and 'there is no use to fret '-

Comment from Bichon
I really admired this poem. It appealed to me how you discussed the journey of memories and covered each one thoroughly. It's always great to look back on memories.

Comment from Ogden
This is a wonderful poem, replete with touching memories of a country childhood - as far as I read. To be frank, Beth, it was too much of a good thing, until it reached a point of diminishing returns. (I had planned to rate it six stars, before I lost interest due to the overload.)
(In my writing, I have found it's important to stop and reevaluate, from time to time, even if everything is going along smoothly.)

Thank;you so much Don, I really appreciate the wonderful review and comments. I'm sorry it was too long for your. I write for myself and wanted all those memories in there. You were the only one who mentioned length, and I've never gotten so many sixes on one before. It can't be right for everyone. :-)

I'm glad you're getting such a good response for your poem, Beth, and I hope you didn't find my remarks too pedantic, but I still think it was good advice, for the reasons I gave.
I assure you, I knew after a few stanzas you're an excellent writer, and I apologize if it appeared to you that I didn't.
:o)

Comment from SixFtLion (Suzanna)
I enjoyed your poem tremendously. I had a smile on my face reading all your precious memories. It flows and rhymes beautifully. And the ending, the reminder about not to worry, and to just choose the beautiful thoughts and memories instead, is priceless. Good luck in your contest!

Comment from royowen
Really we should be like we were when children, as Jesus said, unless we trust as a child trusts we drift away from what God meant us to be, and Him never leaving us or forsaking us, beautifully written beth, I made the journey with you, I think it's very good to do that. Written ballad style and abcb rhyming and smooth and articulate, well done, blessings, Roy

Thank you so much for the review and great comments. For some reason FanStory put on this one that this rating won't count. I can't imagine why since it a five stars.

Lol. It will count. It just a generic statement that FS gives after you have 15 (10?) some number of reviews of rating 5 or above. Don't worry. Hope you get 26 reviews!
