Very nice story. Wish you the best of luck Maddie.

As I was reading your poem, I can't even force myself to believe that these words and wisdoms comes from an 11 year old. You are an amazing person Maddie. And I belive that God uses people like you broaden his kingdom here on Earth. Keep writing! This is amazing!

This poem is really really hartbreaking and full of love. Only a person who has experienced so much love and care himself , is able to write such emotions down. It reflects my feelings about my two wonderful kids totally.

I follow your dad for a long time and just followed you for a short time and I think you made a mistake. You said you had Levi when you were eight but he was four a week ago, so you would have been seven and a half? That means you got pregnant at six? Really?

Beautiful...

By the end of this I was smiling brightly. Levi is so lucky to have you!

This was amazing. I was a bit skeptical at first, but this was really good. This poem has a solid passion about what you are writing about, and I'm glad that I decided to read it. Keep up the good work.

I have a question: Most girls can't get pregnant at 11, let alone 8. I'm not saying that you didn't have Levi, mind anyone who's reading this. I was just confused on how you could have a child at that young age. No offense to you, or anyone, especially your dad, but was it just plain accidental? Were you playing with one of you're friends and it just happened? PM me please. I really liked this poem. Very sweet and emotional, in your part.
P.S. I'm only 14!

Your writing is so strong that, through your words, I can feel how much you love and care about Levi.

Maddie,
I think this shows an absurd amount of creativity dosed in pure talent. Keep writing, and I promise to keep reading.

That is a very beautiful poem.. Keep rockin as a young mom k

Hi Madelaine,

First let me say that as a pre teen, your ability to verbalize such strong emotion, particularly the bond between mother and child, is superb. As the mother of three I felt that you wonderfully expressed how I feel about my kids.

As an editor, spelling and punctuation are above average for your age. By continuing to pursue your craft you will tweak those aspects of your writing.

Your poems are actually all very strong until they get to the end. I believe that is because you stray from the true topic, which is a mother's love, no matter what her age. Once you become defensive you lose your rhythm. Don't include that because it's not germaine to your topic. Make your frustration it's very own poem and it will flow.

Keep writing, Maddie. Your words are strong and beautiful. Best of luck!

Hi, Maddie! It's ToadPopsicle from twitter. I haven't read you stories in a while, but oh God is this sweet. You're an amazing writer, and a fantastic mother. Your story is not only inspirational but it also warns the heart. Don't pay attention to the haters. You are seriously an amazing girl and your dad has every right to be proud of you. I wish I was like you when I was a kid- Smart, nice, talented, and beautiful both inside and out. Keep doing what you're doing. Nothing brightens my day like hearing about Levi and Harry. I can't even tell you how much of an inspiration I find you to be.

Keep writing, and keep being you. :)

P.S. Anyone who is mean to you can talk to me. They have absolutely no right to treat you like they do. They're just jealous of how amazing you are. :)

P.P.S. Will you be at the Chicago Supernatural Convention in October? Just curious.

Dear Maddie,
I thought I must have made a mistake and be reading someone elses poem (an adult's)until I saw your name at the end. It seems incredible to me that one so young can so well describe the emotions of an adult. I have 2 sons and your poem expresses exactly how I felt about each of them-absolutely amazing. Your sensitivity and command of language and emotion, will lead, I am sure, to your being a wonderful poet. You already are and I can't imagine how wonderful your poems will be with the addition of time and experience. Please keep writing.
Every best wish, Toni Tayler, Brisbane, Australia.

Maddie you write so woderfully! Plese write some more, I am missing your stories!
Also I am sooooo glad those marriage rumors have stopped about your dad and ucat42. I saw her photos, she is so pretty, and smart (a writer) and as she is clearly a private person I think she is way out of your dad's league. She must have been so embarrased!

Lots of love and please write another story soon!
