The 5 is for the poem's structure, NOT for the content
Dill pickle and buttermilk? Sure you weren't in the family way when you wrote this, and you were going through a craving stage?
We call dill pickles "Gherkins" here, and that still doesn't make it taste any better.

Another goodie. I have always liked a poem that lays the foundation of the story and then hits you with a punchline at the end.I could see this coming,but you worded it so well. Love the "gave my forehead a smack" line. Good visual description.

Great rhyme and rhythm, this gives a reader the exclusive time to concentrate on the storyline.
Enjoyed this one. MEG

Had to go to the kid's stuff first! This is going to be a great day, Nancy, if the first poem is anything to go by.
We used to tell our kids "Don't pick your nose, it will fall off when it's ripe". Funny, we don't think the kids listened to us when they were small, but they are saying the same things to their kids now. Something must have sunk into their brain.

Grieving is about the most difficult period of anyone's life. It is even more traumatic when losing someone has to be explained to a child. Memories are life's srcapbook. Our family,a large one of 6 children and 15 grandchildren and 1 greatone, get together often, and talk of happy days gone by. We play his favourite music and it feels like he is with us.

Hi Journie,
When I read a poem I can really relate to, it means more than just reviewing for quality.
These are heartfelt thoughts that are experienced by many who have lost a loved one.My thoughts and prayers are with your daughter. My husband of 42 years passed away nearly 3 years ago,and it still seems like yesterday.
Regards MEG

Another great example of how it takes 4 people to do the regular jobs done by Mum on her own. And then they never seem to be done properly or on time.
I have found that when the family give you a day off (and they say the work was a breeze) they have just skimmed the surface and, unbeknown to them, you have diverted all the catastrophes that you could see coming. Well written. MEG

Don't you hate it when this happens.Doesn't matter how many pockets you check, you always miss one.
I wrap masking tape,sticky side out, around my hand and wipe the tissue off.
Nothing worse than wearing something that looks like a lamington,ay!!
Cheers MEG

A very good example of what is of benefit to one could be disaster for another. Each stanza describes vividly the outcome and reception rain gets in the two areas concerned.
Excuse my ignorance Sandy.What is "restiose"? I did look it up but couldn't find it in my dictionary.Just a guess, Is it a plant?
Well done MEG

Wow Sandra, This is a great one. Quite a lot of deep and meaningful passages here.I tried to select a favourite stanza , but they all have a merit of their own. One line, or lines that impressed me:- When all they really need is love, to build the perfect city."
(typo in stanza 3 -- "their dealings").
Great work. MEG.

Just love the use of "forgiveth" as a rhyme. And it fits well.
Yes the language of today has come to the stage where profanity is more or less the accepted word.If one dares to object, he is called a prude.
Another word of wisdom from my Grandfather -- Using a swear word is a sign of a diminished vocabulary.And he would toss us a dictionary for us to find a suitable word.And the "swear" words of yesteryear seem so very tame compared to those of today!
Well written. MEG

"There are none so blind as those who cannot see".
It took me many years to understand exactly what this meant. My Grand father used to say it all the time.
If we just took the time to "see" what we were "looking" at we just may learn to appreciate the beauty around us. A blind person may not be able to focus on their surroundings but they do sense the beauty and value of life and nature much more than the sighted. A wonderful poem and a lesson for all. MEG.
Cowett,
A delightfully descriptive verse one can sink ones self into the fantasy of. I like it. If I can read a piece of verse and mentally draw illustrations, then the writer has definitely got his message across to me. The last verse conjures up a lot of food for thought
All the best MEG
