CJ, Your children's poems are wonderful! This is no exception. I can identify and I'm, like, a guy! ! ! Wow! ! ! 10 from me. (Gray hair & all!) Hugh
C.J., I can really relate to this one! Another beautiful example of a Heck poem. I've read all of your work (176 to date) and have yet to read one I didn't like. Thanks for sharing, and keep 'em coming. Shannon
Your chidren's poems are wonderful. You seem to be inspired at the moment, long may it continue. I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sharing...as always. Kindest Regards Slim. x.
You nailed it, C.J....this is exactly where creativity begins. Very nice. Raynette

It's perfect. You are a master of this genre. It kept surprising me, lifting me.
Superb CJ. You know how to raise a smile. I have to share these with one of my nieces.
