Review of Dream Shed  
Rated: E | (4.5)
This is a really lovely poem Sue. It's got a great punchy rhythm to it, rolls off the tongue when read aloud, particularly important for children's poetry I think. The idea of a dream shed as a storage facility for all the jumble of life (not just objects but memories and experiences - 'magical sights') is really appealing (not just to children). I think this could be made clearer in the poem. As it stands your short description is needed to fully understand what you mean by the title. Could you somehow work this explanation (of a storage place) into the poem itself? Just a suggestion. It would be a shame not to make full use of such a cool idea.

For me, the reference to the man in the moon at the end is the weakest part of the poem. It sounds a little bit forced as if it's there just for the rhyme with 'tune' and doesn't really fit with the rest of the poem. Perhaps this is the place where you can bring in the use/purpose of the dream shed?

So, a great poem as it stands but a bit of tweaking could make it a perfect little gem. Keep on writing!
