A very well-written poem about childhood that always look better when we are grown up and realize what really matters in our lives, the things if childhood that we didn't understand at the time.

Oh golly, substitute that little girl for this little boy, and I could have written this. Good job - I like it. This is literally your "brain child".

Thank you for a great review. I imagine a lot of children who grew up without other kids around can identify with this. I'm glad you like it.

'The Little Girl That Was Once Me', is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill. I was a pleasure to both read and review this talented poet's work. Good luck with the contest!

What a sweet poem and a very interesting picture to go with it. Rhyming is very good and the words flow freely. Thanks for sharing the good memories of childhood.

Your poem is so touching. I like the words; your thoughts as to how you look back at your childhood and your life today. Your poem is very down to earth. Very humbling.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
This was so lilting and rhythmic and filled with the joyful and sometimes soulful activities that a child experiences. It was very enjoyable to read and a lovely entry for the Childhood contest. Good Luck.

Comment from MissMerri
A beautiful poem, sweet and genuine, and one that touches the heart. It is easy to identify with that little girl who lived a life filled with love. This is a great response to the prompt, in my opinion. The meter and rhymes are spot on and the ending is perfect. Good luck in the contest. MM

Hello author of a child Looking back to childhood with your free verse poem in only twenty lines

shows the happiness of how she found when she was alone She learned to live with make-believe.
Sounds like a child (me) when I was alone.

Comment from Carol Clark2
A lovely poem about your childhood. Aren't you glad you were able to play by using your imagination? Many children, unfortunately, don't ever do so.
Good rhyme scheme. My only suggestion is to begin the line, "back when she still was small," with more of an unaccented syllable to keep the rhythm steadier there. A nice contest entry. Good luck!
