The beaver goes through great lenth and hard labor with his mouth and teeth to build a house of logs.
It is a humble home to feel safe and secure from the calls of the presators.
Quick, go into the home when the beaver splats. Stay inside until the coast is clear.
Great story for book-markers with a good message of home sweet home.
Cheerio, hugs, bro Ritchie. :))

    Thanks Ritchie, God's world is rich in inspiration for the aspiring writer. There is so much subject matter, we just need the time to cultivate the words. I hope you are having a great day, thanks for this wonderful review. :-) Carolyn

    Life is wonderful when we can find God's richness in so many things. Even a tiny raindrop on our hands can be such a wonder of nature, smiles.
    Days are usually great here with plenty of sunshine and rain, smiles.
    Cheerio, you have a lovely day too.
    Hugs, Ritchie. :))

Hi Carolyn,
This is a very graphic description of The beavers life.
The writing and the language is very implicit and full of imageries. I like it very much.

A very great job Carol and I enjoyed reading this children's poem very much. Your rhyming was very easily done in neither of your rhymes were forced, labored or strained. I love the picture of really complement your poem very much and vice versa. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. You have a good one and God bless.

Such a cute poem, Carolyn. The accompanying pic is so very cute as well. Any child would love it. I love it too! :)

Laughed at your "flat" "splat" rhyme. :) I think kids would giggle at that for sure.

Great idea to make book markers out these poems!

Excellent!

    Thanks Connie, I do that pretty often, they make great little personal gifts, and for folks who desire a piece of my work, (since I have no book in print LOL) it is a fun way to be published. Thank you for your encouragement. :-) Carolyn

    Do you have your book markers laminated too? What a great gift idea! :)

    Connie
reply by the author on 20-Nov-2013
    Yes, we finally purchased a laminating machine, it is quite cost effective and when I need more, I don't have the order and wait process to go through. Put re-order info on the back. Good luck if you decide to do it. Friends and family will love them as a gift from you and will purchase as gifts for others. Nice circle.. :-) Carolyn
reply by bichonfrisegirl on 20-Nov-2013
    Your own laminating machine makes perfect sense, Carolyn. Thanks for sharing the re-order tip for the back. Certainly a unique alternative to placing poetry into a book.
    Hope you sell tons of your book markers :)

    Wishing you a wonderful day!

    Hugs,
    Connie

Hi Carolyn,

This is a darling poem. I really enjoyed the read. I use to make poetic book-markers too, but they didn't sell too well. That was years ago.
