Linda, thank you so much. He has become a fussy eater - I think he was busy turning his nose up at something Mommy was offering him :-) Brooke

Hi there, adewpearl
Well this just tickles my fancy to the max! And then some more!! I love it .. like really love it. Right from the look on the face (beautifully captured - reminds me of the times I used to say to my wee son, "Give Mum one of your mean looks - and he would. Bless his little soul! Twenty-eight years old now.)
I'd like to give this a eight star review, and I'd like to list my favourite line but every single one is! Maybe I choose the best of the best:
and when the clouds released their rain,
the water from their showers.
He grabbed the hop away from frogs,
he swiped the sour from pickles,
and if a baby tried to laugh,
he took away its tickles.
He pilfered spots from butterflies,
their wings now drab and dreary,
and plucked the silver from the stars,
but starlight was her limit,
I'm getting carried away. I told you I loved it!
Marion.

Comment from Jade Lawson
So funny the picture and it goes so well along with the first two lines. This character Leander indeed was quite evil, until his mother had enough. Such a delightful story in a poem format. One of the bests I read for this contest. Original, well written and it flows well.

Comment from Aussie
Yep, that is one evil look "don't cross me, cause I am the boss." What a bad Leander - the devil's son? A clever bit of story telling - I enjoyed this one. Good luck in the contest.

Kay, thank you so very much :-) Sawyer has been a naughty boy at meal times lately, throwing food at his Mommy. LOL I so appreciate your sixth star :-) Brooke
-
Yeah! Good on ya kid! I used to fire my peas at mummy dearest! :-)
-
The thing is he is throwing it all, the veggies he doesn't like plus the watermelon chunks and beloved blueberries that are his favorite foods! LOL :-)
-
He is trying to tell Miranda something by acting up; give him some play dough to throw and make something. LOL.
Comment from emjaihammond
Really, really great, and I just loved reading it. The picture by itself should win an award. What an expression! Love the poem and all that is in it, so well applied to this little guy's expression. Super!

Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
By the look in those eyes I'd say he could steal the hop away from frogs, LOL! Your daughter was very clever to get that photo. She must have been ready with the camera. Well done, Brooke, absolutely delightful. Giddy

A very cute and fun to read poem. I think Leander needed a nap and probably his mother too. Thanks for sharing this and for the cute picture. Most enjoyable~Debbie

Comment from Opal H.
What a cute little poem about an "evil" Leander :D. I do believe I've met Leander in a previous poem and he wasn't a very nice guy there either! And love the photo of Sawyer with that gangster expression! Classic!! ;)

Once again another fun read. The mischievousness of children (especially boys) is obviously a fertile ground for a talented poet. The rhyme and rhythm are perfect and draw the reader along for the fun.
