This is a form I don't see very often. It lends itself well to a joyful children's poem, keeping up the pace and enhancing the fun factor. I love the procession if animals and the great time it feels as though they're having.

This is a good poem that includes a lot of animals and a lot of different relationships. One question, wouldn't a crack in a tooth make eating nuts harder that eating honey? I like the artwrork.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay heatlhy

    AH, but the nuts would never bring the discomfort that sweets bring to a hot nerve - speaking form my personal experience - but, perhaps, I should revisit this line thank you Joan!

    With that reasoning, I understand your line. But pressure sometimes causes pain and chewing hard foods cause that pressure.
    You're welcome.

One little thing I found in the first line - I think you meant to write 'thought.' This was adorable. I love alliteration and you worked it well into the names of the animals, except for Danny. Sally might work, but you'd have to change it from a boy to a girl.

Anyway, that's minor stuff and this was such a cute little poem for the kiddies and us big kids as well. Best regards, Lilly

A clever and fun poem in rhyming tercets with lots of sprinkles of alliteration throughout ~ something I find children seem to take to (as do I!) A great image was chosen to enhance your words! (Nice of your to acknowledge "avmuray")--

I'll read this one to my youngest grandson!

An excellent entry in this contest, an apt entry, and unusually, the first one I've read, in mono rhyming triplets, expertly written, and a worthy and competitive contest entry, articulate but simple, as it should be, good luck, blessings Roy

An excellent children's poem! The author's words sweet, interesting,
playful, fun and creative. The rhyming in this poem was awesome.
I pondered how much a child would enjoy this poem. The poem flows
and connects well. The artwork goes well with this poem.

Author,
This is a very nice children's poem full of nice-sounding alliteration that would attract a child's curiosity and love of animals.
Excellent poem.
Good luck and blessings,
Cindy

A good entry to the children's poetry contest - cute rhymes and animals, you can't go wrong!
First line - did you mean to say thought instead of though?
Good luck!

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a very well written six star poem in my eyes. You used great descriptive and rhyming words with very good imagery from the art work you chose. I think children would love to have that read to them or read to themself if they are old enough. love and blessings, teri
