I have to smile...
I remember nagging my daughter to clean up her mess!
Once she came of age and got a place of her own, I missed it all!
Good luck in the ABC contest!

Comment from Sally Law
Yes, we all have a child like this. My gifted son made a solar hot dog cooker. He left it under his bed for a long while unattended. Oh my. Love him though and the joy he and his family bring my husband and me can't be expressed. A beautiful, timely poem, Colorado Owl.
Sending you my best today as always.

Comment from Nicki.B
I'm definitely guilty of being a Mom who is always saying tidy your room, 'pick this up, make your bed, bring your dirty washing'. As I read this I feel some guilt, so thanks for sharing this. I'm going to take a little lesson from it. It's just lovely and we do need to take a step back sometimes and realise what is actually important! Great entry for the competition, good luck!

This is a very good entry for the ABC poetry competition. While I agree with the sentiment expressed, I might draw the line at bugs. (My daughter never moved out-lol). Well done!

Thank you for your review. I appreciate your comments. (If your daughter is still living with you, I hope you can both appreciate appreciate this time together!
Comment from Shanbreen
I can appreciate your desire to live with creepy-crawly bugs. It is somewhat like you can't help doing something even if you believe it is wrong. The temptation, for whatever reason, is simply too strong --- getting a kick out of it, forgetting that some bugs bite. Yes, we do strange things when we are young, which could turn into wonderful memories when we are older.
I understand the need to give our kids the chance to enjoy their space, but I am one, who believes in being parents--- guiding them.
Your ABC poem is well written. Best for the contest.

Thank you very much for your review. I started to write this about my son, but needed "D", so changed it to "Daughter". I allowed him his messy room as a child, and it did surprise me that as an adult he keeps a neat house. He told me he got tired of losing things when it was messy :-)
Comment from June Sargent
I agree. We can have a really neat empty nest someday. Meanwhile, savor these moments of happiness watching your child grow and blossom amidst the mess. Because it will be their collection of memories as well.

Comment from Bill Schott
This ABC poem, A Treasured Space, has the proper BCDE-formatting and enshrines that area where our young ones perceive the world and all of its fascinating possibilities.

Hi, Colorado
I want you to know that this may or may not be a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that.
I could not read your poem due to the font and the background color
So I'm writing this review only to let you know that I can't review your poem

Thank you for trying to review this and for letting me know there's a problem with the font size. I just changed it and the backgroud color, so I hope it's now easier to read.

Yes. It is easier to see. Good job
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I love the photograph as this girl is a lover of plants, but sharing your bed with a few bugs would be a bit creepy. I enjoyed the sweet sentiment in this post, love Dolly x

Comment from Earl Corp
The only complaint or observation I can are make is the font in size in your poems very tiny and hard to read. Good luck in the contest.
