Great use of the required words! I didn't even realize it was one of those types of poems until I read your author's notes. It's a cute story of one who longed for fame and glory when young (didn't we all?) and grew up to realize that they could have a fulfilled life without outward fame!
Thank you for sharing.

I'm not sure that fame is all it's cracked up to be and many famous people have a little regret in their minds as they are often hounded by the press, especially when they make a mistake and the world is watching. But here you yearn to be famous and enjoy the accolade, a fun write, well rhymed, love Dolly x

    Thank you. Besides being a star, I wanted to a race car driver, a nurse, a lab technician and a baker. Isn't being young wonderful? So many possibilities. Thanks again for reading. :)

You did it!!!! You wrote a wonderful poem. It used all the words required. It was well thought out describing a dream. I liked the way you developed it so that I would think you were going to be an entertainer of some kind. Then you surprised me with your fame as MOM. How clever.
Some observations:
You used the word persue. It is actually spelled, pursue.
I felt that in some places, the rhythm wasn't consistent. The rhymes were very good, though.
One suggestion is, in your sentence, "A gently breeze blows and I reminisce", I would like to suggest that you change the word gently to gentle.
Overall, it is a really good work. Thanks for sharing.

"Perhaps a famous author's who I'd be,
I'd write detective novels, poetry.
The publisher's will rave how my books sell,
my family would be very proud of me." This line speaks to me because I really want to be a writer. I might not be as famous, however I am willing to try to reach my dreams.

You have written a very good poem using all the words that were given. Rhyming is good. I did notice a word error: "I'd right detective novels and poetry." You might want to change "right" to "write."

    You are welcome. If you were using spell check, this would not show up as an error.
