GERALDINE and COCO



We met a little lady who lives round the bend,
First time we saw her, I started to grin.
She looked like my Mother, that passed years ago,
Walking a little dog whose name is Coco.
Now Geraldine and Coco, we see every day,
We thank God every day for sending them our way.
Each day I walk Coco, she jumps in my lap,
She plays with our dog, she plays with our cat.
Now Geraldine is our family and a Blessed friend,
A friendship we know, that NEVER WILL END!
Hue and Patti

    What a delightful poem, "GERALDINE and COCO"! Your ability to convey warmth and affection in your words shines through beautifully. The imagery of Geraldine resembling your mother and the bond between the characters adds a deeply personal touch that readers can connect with. The playful interactions between Coco and the pets create a lively atmosphere that is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.

    Your use of rhyme and rhythm flows smoothly, making it a joy to read aloud. The genuine appreciation for friendship and the little joys in life resonates strongly, leaving the reader with a comforting sense of happiness.

    For improvement, consider experimenting with varying the structure a bit more in certain stanzas. While the rhyme is charming, incorporating some internal rhymes or refrains could enhance the musicality and emotional impact of the poem. Additionally, you might want to delve deeper into specific memories or experiences with Geraldine and Coco, which could further enrich the connection for your readers.

    Overall, it's a heartwarming tribute to friendship and companionship, and I can’t wait to see how you continue to develop your poetic voice! Keep up the wonderful work, Hue and Patti!
