Wendy, this story in an "acrostic" would have worked just as well for the contest: Write a story In a poem...Scribe rendering of the acrostic in this
format and utilizing rhyme is challenging. Your line breaks were excellent.
The last line of the poem is phenomenon...An excellent contest entry. Good luck. teafor2

This is a neat acrostic poem with a lot of lines and also rhymes. Anything that speaks of love make us feel warm and cared about. My youngest child used to say "I love you the whole world" I'm not sure if that implied distance or volumn or what but I always liked hear it.

    He probably meant as big as the whole world, which is as much as he could imagine. That?s so beautiful too. Thank you for this lovely review.

This acrostic poem, A Child-rich Life, presented with the foundation phrase "I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK, proclaims the joy and fulfillment of family and their proper molding into citizens of this world and the next.

A very lovely acrostic poem that nicely spells out the 2nd and last line of the poem, a wonderful sentiment about love. Very nicely written and a pleasure to read.

At last, a poem. This is a really good acrostic poem. I think you will do well in the contest.

Although you're living Down Below,
And I have trouble keeping track,
I'm hoping that you really know
I love you to the moon and back.

That's a three minute poem.

    Hi Paul, I am not a great poet, so I am pleased that you enjoyed this one. I always think of you when I write poetry, and try to get my metre right (but rarely succeed). I love your three minute poem! Lol. Thanks so much for a super review.

Hi Wendy,
This is one of the longest acrostics I have seen. You did well with it showing both earthly and heavenly love. It does remind us how important each moment of life is.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.
Have a great rest of the day and week.
Joan

    Yes, it was a long one. I was just going to do "Love you" then "Love you to the moon" originally, but it just became longer! Thank you so much for reviewing so positively, and for the good wishes.

Thank you for sharing this acrostic contest entry with us. I love the idea of being loved to the moon and back. There's a children's book about that. Of course, all children should be loved to the moon and back. Good luck witht the contest.

A beautiful entry for the Acrostic Poetry contest. The criteria was met with the words I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK down the left side of the poem. I have always loved this phrase and have used it with my own child since she was small. You did a lovely job of putting into words what the phrase means to you. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

I like that expression of child rich life, we love and live, I suspect through genetic memory too, and I wonder what ancestor(s) I reflect. This is a great effort Wendy, I'm not used to seeing poetry from you, well donr, blessings Roy

    Thank you Roy. A fine review. I did post poetry till this year, but this is only my third piece this year. I am focussing on prose at present and I don?t have time for more than two or three posts per week.
    Thanks again. I am glad you enjoyed it.

    Yes, prose would be hard to do more, Helen does, but writes short topical posts

Child-rich in children, Jonathan, and grandchildren. You truly are blessed, Wendy.

The way you weave the present and the future adds a special touch and meaning to this poem. It speaks of your love for children and for your Father in heaven, but it says to me, "all things must pass" yet the next generation will carry on as I did.

Beautiful layout of this poem - the lines seem to weave back and forth just like your present and future do in the poem.

I love when you write poetry - write more!

Good luck in the contest; I bet this does well.
