I never managed to stay clean. The tomboy in me chose to wallow...I love and lived that line. But I wasn't saved by the bell most times.
Beautiful poem. Good luck with the contest
God bless

Great job with this interesting poem. Innocence, discovery, and taking life on life's terms--the thorns--but they can surely wait until we have a chance to enjoy our childhood, hopefully. Marilyn

What a sweet contest entry. I love the font choice, the coloring in the background of your picture. I think all of it is whimsical. It is a great story about when life was still fun! All the rhyming lines seem to flow. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from LIJ Red
Not free verse exactly with the second lines of the couplets rhyming...a new style, maybe? Excellent images and straight to the heart of that unusual prompt...

Nice tale of the freshness of morning. The dew, the butterflies, the fragrant smells, all building a picture of the day to come. Then the "red flash", obviously covered in thorns. However, the lunchtime call came just in time to avoid the disaster.
Liked this very much, from the point of view of expressing sunshine nature.

Comment from Michele Harber
This is such a beautiful and innocent poem, expressing the joy and wonder that children feel in discovering the things that we jaded adults already knew were there. I got a kick out of the roses' last-minute reprieve. Your poem flows easily, and your rhymes work well.

This is a very nice poem you have penned for the "When Life was still fun" contest. You used adorable imagery from the picture of the little girl smelling the pretty red flowers. You used great words as well. Best wishes in the contest. I enjoyed reading and reviewing. Blessings, Teri

Excellent depiction of a young girl, just learning the ways of the world. I loved your ending. The thorns of life would have to wait. Such a strong image of how messy and painful life can become, but like the rose, there's also beauty. Good luck in the contest.
