pure magic!
Deb, that is great. And the picture - perfect. I wish I could print it. I'd love to frame it, but it won't let me, of course.
If it's okay with you, I'd love to re-type it and try to find a good picture and frame it and at the bottom, say, written by my friend, Debra white, from the UK. Would that be all right with you?
I really think you should submit that to a magazine - several. Oh, I hope you will. I bet somebody would publish it. There are several that were started in the 70's by a Mrs Carus, but I think, now, it's Cricket Media. I have been published in Cricket, and will have a poem in their June Issue.
Do give it a try.
Fondly, Katharine

I am sure that most of us can identify with your poem. It seems to be the intrinsic way of young people! You have thoughtfully constructed your poem with smooth rhyme and metre, and presented it well. best wishes for your entry.

This is a brilliant response to the contest prompt, such a well-written piece, and probably a sentiment with which we can all identify. Lovely rhyme and rhythm. Good luck in the contest.

This is a well written poem. The rhyming scheme is consistent throughout the poem. The poem reads, and flows well. I can remember my youthful days, when I thought I knew it all. Experience does have a way of correcting that. The last stanza sums up this poem well. Good job.

Very well done and clever...good use of humor. Good luck with the contest. Love the picture as well. A lot of wisdom in your observations. Where did you get the picture?

Comment from Mickamus J
It seems like the flight was taken when young. It was a way for people to think and go through life with an understanding and somewhat try to keep themselves free from fear. Thank you for sharing.

Hi there,
I think you did a great job with this piece. Conforms to all the criteria laid down for the competition.
There's a lovely flow and rhythm to the piece. The repeated phrasing works very nicely.
Although having to explain how to pronounce naive is somewhat disturbing. lol
All the best

Hello :) thank you for your great feedback, I appreciate it!
I did think twice about including the ?naive? note?. Do you think I should remove it? I don?t want to insult anyone!
