Thank you

This is such a creative and vivid poem. You’ve captured the dentist's warning in a playful yet slightly spooky way that really brings the sugar bugs to life (pun intended!). The rhymes flow so smoothly, and the imagery is both fun and memorable. I can see how it might be a bit intense for younger kids, but it’s also a great reminder of why brushing is so important. Your grandson must have been both fascinated and amused, what a wonderful way to turn a dental lesson into art. more »

kkkk, a bonfire sounds like the perfect send-off for those shoulder pads! Thank you for the offer, though I can only imagine how fabulous I’d look rocking some vintage '80s flair! And your humor is the best,keep it coming! :) more »

This poem is such a fun and colorful snapshot of the 1980s! Even though I didn’t live through that decade, the vivid imagery of "shoulder pads," "Jelly shoes," and "big hair clips" paints a clear picture of its unique and bold style. The playful rhythm and humor, especially in lines like “It’s crowding out my nineties stuff!” make it so relatable—it captures the universal feeling of outgrowing old phases and making space for new ones.
I love how this poem makes the past feel alive and familiar, even for someone who didn’t experience it firsthand. It’s a lighthearted yet thoughtful reminder that letting go can be freeing, and it left me with a smile!

Did you finally throw it away for real or can I have it?  more »

This poem weaves an atmosphere of profound stillness and emotion. The imagery of the golden hour, shy sun, and trilling nightingales creates such a vivid yet somber setting, perfectly mirroring the narrator's inner world. The line about memories falling 'soft on my cheek' is both poignant and heart-wrenching, capturing grief in such an elegant and relatable way. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful expression of loss and longing,it’s a reminder of how poetry can give voice to our most tender emotions. more »

This poem beautifully captures the fleeting magic of childhood wonder. I love how it gently transitions from the innocent fascination with movement to the bittersweet realization of growing up. The imagery of 'chubby fingers' and the 'finger-dance' is so vivid and heartwarming, and the final stanza really drives home the poignant message about the loss of innocence. Truly a touching and reflective piece—thank you for sharing this reminder to cherish the wonder of youth! Enjoy your grandson. more »
