Good job on rhyme, and on writing a happy, lovely poem. The hardest part of poetry is meter: having the same numbe of accented and accented syllables in each line. Work on that, and your poetry will "read" more smoothly.

Robert, what Jan said about meter is exactly right. The poem was a delight, but because it was a little out with the rhythm, that's what held it back a little in the judges' ratings. Even so, you did very well, ranking 10th out of the 36 Level 2 entries. So well done. With love, Deb (Challenge Coordinator)
