I am currently writing and illustrating a children's book on nap time for my cat and where he finds places to sleep.
It started as a picture book in which I drew all the beds and cozy places that he has in the house.
The pictures turned out great, there is one in my gallery, but I am becoming leery of the writing. I started out by writing verses that rhymed. That seemed hard enough, but when I sent it to my editors they rejected the verses as not yet done.
I am wondering if it is such a specialized area of writing that one must think like a child in order to "get it!"
Any comments or ideas.
Would anyone be interested in reading a couple of verses to help me steer this ship?
Thank you in advance for any consideration.

It honestly does help in this time of year. As the saying goes Starving artist isnt always a saying so Im happy to see some people still have humanity out there . I everyday try to put a smile back on the less fortunate people and I will keep on trying everyday of my life . poor or rich I will always remember where I came from and the people that befriended me first .but since I am still on the poor side of the coin I will have only one thing to do Merry Christmas To You and your family
