G'day Christine, I don't have a six left mate, sorry. That is amazing to a bloke who has never told a story in a poem in under 500 words, I think me lowest word count is 533. You just told one in 8 words, crikey you are clever. Good luck in the contest my friend, I am speechless. Cheers Fez

Great job is the mastering of this one my friend. All three lines ties in perfectly telling a story about you sons. I tried doing this 1-6-1, didn't get any where with it except a headache. May try again in the future. Excellent job my friend and best wishes in the contest. Portia

-Nice artwork to go with your poem.
-You follow the directions for the prompt, the syllables are correct, and you have rhyme.
-Nice opening and closing line that relate to one another.
-Good middle line, although I would take out the comma between son and good.
-I can relate to your feelings expressed in the author notes.
