This is really good. I like the descriptive wording you've used to describe every element of the family. The choice of title is excellent and is what family is. The rhyme and flow of this is superb. This was a joy to read. Great job and well done!

Your words are descriptive, Mystery Author. I enjoyed your contest entry. Your words are descriptive with good rhymes. I like the verse about the dog. Good job and thanks for sharing. Best wishes. Jan

    Yes, Charles the Dog has been a big hit with the reviewers! (well, but then, compared to a teeth-grinding snorer or a procrastinator, I guess that makes sense..) Thank you for the delightful review.

I can certainly relate this to this sentiment. Families are strange for sure. This weekend we have a graduation and the family will be coming to our house for a party afterwards. I can hardy wait.

    Maybe it will inspire YOU to write a snarky-yet-sentimental poem, too, Jmf4119!!!!! Enjoy yourself.

Oh, the ties that bind us do make for an interesting family portrait! One we would never trade in, as you could never find another with such a perfect fit. Imperfect, but priceless. Well said.

It is not difficult to find fault with your own family, familiarity breeds
contempt. Clever word play employed in line two. The verse is solidly rhymed. The photo-art well complements your theme, the message is
pleasant and clear.
Best wishes with this well penned contest entry.

Dear Mystery Poet,

Yeesh! I'm the sister that snores and grinds her teeth. Yep, I'm the black sheep in my family. I can just imagine what some have said about me over the years.

Isn't it true that despite all the faults, there's no place like home among our own people.

Best wishes in this contest. The picture caught my attention to pop in and read.

Joy xx

    Yes! It's all about belonging to a tribe. You accept each other, warts and all.

    Thanks very much for all this fun and positive feedback, you little snoring teeth-grinder you!! I appreciate your well-wishes for the contest, too.

We all have our failings, and that comes across in this humorous little poem looking at those who try our patience, but put up with us as well. I liked the limerick like rhythms, and the echoing rhyme scheme that lifted the mood with the upbeat music of the language. estory

Good job - we love 'em, even when they might irritate. And glad to have them for sure. Thanks for the good reminder - they are our family, come what may.

This was a funny piece of writing, unknown writer. I think we all feel that way about our families. But we take them warts and all because we are related by blood. Except for the dog, who seems kind of useless even though he's got a good name. Nice job and good luck in the contest.
