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.

I enjoyed this piece very much. I liked the flow of it and the imagery. Definitely had a good rhythm to it as well. Nice job.

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.
