Childhood Joy (tanka)

by Baby Rainbow   Feb 25, 2013


Children's laughter roars,
chasing neighbours through the park
ecstatic with joy.
Innocent minds run care free
with freedom of sweet childhood.

    This is a very beautiful poem saffie. I love the wonders of childhood as it makes you feel alive. The child's laughter make it feel so young and free. It's the innocence here that can make you think. I think children are very free and that's the beauty because nothing scares them much. You say they run around here in the park so it makes me imagine a whole group of friends who have been close for a while. Children can vary in age but I can still see this. Their face full of joy. I like the simplicity of this line because it says so much. I like the simple things children love. Innocent minds is the right wording for sure. Freedom is very strong and amazing. That is why sometimes I am envious of child. They don't life with the pain of life. This is a very good poem though saffie. The simplicity of the lines say so much but connect so very much.

    I like your poem. Your poem brought a wisp of freshness in my heart. Wish to read more compact with imageries and sound.
