    Thanks, Joanne. It took me a minute or two to come up with that last stanza. It is the best one in the poem.

Paul, I really enjoyed this poem. The flow is terrific. It bounces along at the beginning in a very light hearted manner and then turns to something more serious before ending on the sentimental. Marvelous.

Oh, this was so adorable! That grandson is quite a man, so smart and intellectual. I enjoyed your humor, wit, rhymes, meter and great presentation.

I hope the granddad will help the kid in the quest, and tell him how he me grandma (smile).

Good luck in the contest.

What a lovely work my friend Paul. I never met either of my grandfathers, and really barely knew my grandmothers, so when I read these fabulous poems that folk write about their grandparents, I dicover my lack, well done, blessings Roy

I love this terrific contest entry. Kids have such active minds, they often look to adults for help to understand. That's what makes this poem so true to life, it makes me a little nostalgic for days gone by, before the internet...lol. Best of luck in the contest. :)

This is such a sweet poem and so well written. It makes me wish my grandfathers had been alive when I was growing up and my Dad for my children. I enjoyed the rhyme and flow and what a perfect picture. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, what a sweet story poem! I can so easily picture this child and his grandfather, and the sentiment is wonderful. The abcb rhyme is spot-on, and the meter is flawless. I hope it wins!

This is a sweet and heartfelt entry into the Rhyming Poetry Contest. The text is a good size for reading. The message is clearly stated and easily understood. The main character in this poem seems to have a lot of care and respect for the grandpa. Your rhyme scheme is on point.
Your text is imbalanced in the poem box. Drop the first line down one space and go to the last word in the poem and hit enter once. This will create better spacing around your poem. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.
