'Animas at Play', is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a delight to both read and review. To me this is definitely a six. Good luck with the contest. Please let me know how you get on?

The picture is priceless! You chose it well for your lovely children's poem. The animals were surely have a time of their lives here, whether playing of fighting, or eating. Everything children do whether animal of human. Well done, and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Hello,

An awesome entry for the Children's Poem writing prompt Contest. It flows well with beautifully descriptive words that paint a clear mental picture.

The theme about animals is so cute and the presentation goes well together.

The rhyme doesn'tseem forced.

Well done! I wish you the best in the contest.

This is a good starting point for a children's poem, but it needs development rhythmically. I have the sense that children's poetry should be easily phrase-able for singing, like Jack and Jill and Old Mother Hubbard. I didn't try to make the statements of this poem more aligned with rhythmic motifs, but I think it could be done.

    Frank yep, silly for me - a person with two left feet to dance among the stars of children's poetic genre. But practice, practice on I must.

This was adorable. The rhyme and meter were held to very well. I loved the alliteration too, it really helps give it a sense of whimsy. The animals all sounded so cute and personable, just like how a child (or even an adult) can imagine them at play. Great job!

It's a delight to read children's poetry - to help take us away, at least temporarily from the stresses and strains of adult life , just to ponder on the antics of 'Babs the bunny' or 'Toto the tortoise'

    Zanya, yes to let our minds dance in the forest with God's playful creatures could be good for our hearts to soften more often.

This is such a sweet little poem. This is the sort of poem that little children really enjoy. They can identify with these friendly little creatures. A perfect bedtime story to help them fall asleep
