Good stuff, Michelle. I think you will score very high with this one. I loved it, frankly.

I'd say that 'Ocie' is an 'Acie!' G.L. in the contest, Michelle! Joy, Gershon

Hi Michelle, You did a great job with the contest challenge. You composed a good poem with “O”s. It has a nice rhythm and flow as well. Is this a true story about your great-grandmother? Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Yes, it's mostly true - had to get a little creative for the contest, but she had 8 boys, she was my father's father's mother - I was very young when she passed but she was quite a spunky lady, I am told~
