The Lesson
A Lesson Carried Through Life13 total reviews
Comment from kiwisteveh
Are you saying that his not giving you a valentine was the lesson - that we don't always get what we want.
In any case, a thought-provoking poem based on this childhood incident.
I like the unusual form you use here with the rhyme at the end of successive stanzas.
Good luck.

This sweet, light poem probably brings back strong memories for anyone who has ever been a student in a third-grade public school classroom. "The Lesson" your narrator speaks of is usually "lost" on the best of us, but if such a learning moment does not indeed pass one by, then more power to that person! I like your message. It addresses the contest topic perfectly, almost literally. Great job. Good luck in the contest! Steph H.
