That was sooo warm, so cute, so true. "pikins" would justtt charm us with their amazing wisdom that sometimes exceeds their age.

i love the innocence here, the childlike images and the veryyyyy smile-for-me clauses.

Excellent yaki...you just master all genres.

This had SUCH a sweet tone, oh with a precious face like she has, how can you punish her? She's going to be a heartbreaker when she grows up, thats for sure. I love how you bring different cultures into your poetry, it always intrigues me and I am always learning something new. :)

I loved reading this side of you, so sweet and tender :)

I just want to hug this poem!!! It's how I see all kids, so cute and adorable as they learn to do things.

You write with such sunshine, if that makes any sense, lol! The emotion in this is so uplifting and just perfect like all little "pikins" are!!!
Love it!!!
