Comments : Innocent Childhood

  • 16 years ago

    by H E Losey

    I enjoyed the story but it seems you lost the rhyme in 3rd stanza and I'm ???? In the 4th stanza I would alter to "always to cherish".
    I enjoyed your use of vocabulary in describing the pictures created.
    As always only my opinion.

    Nicely written.
    I love how you put the words up.
    The flow is good.
    && every word used was really about childhood, i.e Cinderella and Genie and stuff.

    Gliding down the Rainbow,
    Across the cerulean sky,
    Angels sans wings,
    On cottony clouds we fly.
    ^^
    The imagery created is wonderful in this opening stanza!

    Chasing after butterflies,
    Dabbling in puddles,
    Scaling the tallest bough,
    A life so untangled.

    The innocence of childhood ... yes ... I so remember chasing those butterflies (begging my brother not to pull at their wings) ... the challenges of having a brother .... lol

    As do I also remember the mud puddles and the mud pies he would try and make me taste ... lol

    I really enjoyed this read ... and the imagery you've painted swept me back to those days of long ago.

    Well done

    `Oooh .... Greay imagery -- brings a really strong opening. "Cerulean" -- AH, I learned a new word :D HAHA, no, seriously tho. The stanza creates a calming, sweet image to mind, but the "Angels sans wings." From what I remember, "sans" means without, yes? So I feel like it was kind of ironic ... Rainbow ... brings pretty into mind. But angels without wings makes me think adverse? -shrugs.

    Chocolatey world - we envisaged,
    A dream we planned to seek,
    To have that Cinderella dress,
    From a Genie if we meet.
    `Ah, yes. When we're so young, but we dream so big. Disney movies and fairy tales -- the influence of our purity.

    Chasing after butterflies,
    Dabbling in puddles,
    Scaling the tallest bough,
    A life so untangled.
    `A great portrayal of the innocence of childhood. Chasing after beauty that cannot harm us -- when we get older ... beauty is what tears many of us apart. Dipping into puddles ... We get dirty, but we are not stained as kids; it's just fun -- leading to the last line ... We're young, we don't have drama or "life" to deal with.

    Innocent childish fantasies,
    When ignorance was bliss,
    Unsophisticated lifestyle,
    Childhood - always cherished.
    `When I read this, the word "childish" in my mind is read with mockery -- so for me, this is a strong ending stanza. We cherish what we will never get back ...

    Nice write. Definitely great imagery here -- truly brings me back to my own childhood (though mine was kind of ... fairy tale and mud pies [[the puddles made me think mud, mmkays? :P]] deprived xD).

    Well done, hon .

    In am in love with this piece lol. It seem that in every stanza you have captured a piece of my thoughts. Whole poem has great flow and so captivating, remarkably portrayed imagery. I really like your writing style, you're always able to convey such beauty and elegance in your poetry and this piece is not an exception. I like your choice of words from the beginning to the end, too.
    5/5 from me

    Well, I like the poem though i think it would be hard for sdome to understand- i love words and use a site called "freerice.com" to learn new vocab, so i understood it, but many wouldn't. I wondered at someparts if you went to a thesourus to find new words to use which is fine because you used them in context. but other than that, the poem was well writtena nd flowed pretty well- i got distracted in the second stanza as i was expecting it to rhyme (the first stanza rhymed) but other than that, very nice work. congrats and keep writing. thank you for commenting my poem, it isappretiated.

    Amazing poem. The rhyming in this piece really did it for me. But I think you should carry it throughout the whole poem and not just the first stanza. Other than that it was awesome. Keep up the great work.

    Erm.
    Is sans a word? Is it a word spelled correctly?
    If it's both, it doesn't sound right with

    Angels Sans Wings

    I think second stanza was quite adorable.
    I love Disney Movies.
    And I'm glad you related it to them.

    If you tried to make this rhyme.
    You need a bit more work with it.
    It seemed as though you did.
    But I wasn't quite sure.
    Some of them rhymed, and some just tried to rhyme.

    All in all.
    I couldn't really understand what you were trying to say.
    Maybe you could make that more clear next time?

    I loved this. Your words used showed so much emotion, and it came out with every stanza you wrote. It was very deep, and that's what made it so great. Keep up the good work.
