Jeff Kyser Biography

Jeff Kyser is a retired software developer who lives with his wife Frances right ‘round the bend in rural Lacey’s Spring, Alabama. A late comer to the world of poetry, he has been writing contemplative and whimsical pieces on family, on redemption, and on faith for the last several years. His eight grandchildren are the source for much of his inspiration, fueling a desire to spur their imagination and to share his life’s journey with them.

Thanks, Jeff I had the second stanza rhyme sequence incorrect; I have updated the poem.

Jeff, that's very nice that you give an update so people can correct their poems. I believe that if a poet makes changes in a poem it is best to remove it and re-enter the contest to make sure it is read again.

Thank you, Jeff, for being given the opportunity to make some changes before the final judging. I see what you mean "If your near rhyme for one of your B rhymes is a true rhyme for your A rhyme (or the reverse), then it kinda looks like you missed the pattern." Enjoy the judging process!
