Absolutely correct, so simple I can't remember a single thing, other than knowing what the photos are that my mom has. but to feel how i felt, doesn't compute. now if it was chaotic, I'd have a better chance at remembering it. lol enjoyed this playful poem, rhyming poem, it's so you

Debra, I absolutely LOVE this piece!! You captured it p-e-r-f-e-c-t-l-y. It is as if you knew me when I was six, hehe. And the illustration to match makes for a complete set. This made me smile with glee! May was such a busy month for me; I have not written a thing! I must get back to it. Thanks for this wonderful read.

Sending well wishes!

If only we could return to those perfect days when we were children. Our days were simple, lots of play and mother chasing us every day. If only we could go back in time. Being an adult ain't fine. :-(

Love this, and at this time in history I am so glad to think of older times. When life was so much more predictable. Maybe "when I was six" is what we all should focus on. I am sorry, but school murders in Texas have me very sad. Nice job on this one

I like this poem- good presentation picture- poem is sequenced well and flows well - painting a picture of a make believe world where everything is perfect using recognizable child icons eg butterflies, counting sheep jumping clouds to fall asleep- bobble heads and arms like sticks- all perfect- when you're 6- and 76
Good job

No limerick? (smile)

I see you've exorcised the Limerick imp for now! (I loved each one!)

This! Though many would find it doubtful, despite the decades upon decades I well remember when I was six.

I pondered nothing. I soaked up life like a sponge and if squeezed would drip joy!

So it is with this poem!

I remember thinking, at six, on my First Holy Communion Sunday--why in the wordle were there people about mowing lawns? Shuffling down sidewalks with groceries? Did they not know it was my day???

Ah, to be young...

Karenina

    Love to see little children still lost in that place where they are the center of the universe! :)

I really liked your treatment of this subject, and the way the art became an integral part of it. The language captures childhood well and takes me back to my own six year old self

This is a good poem. I especially liked the last line and the visual you selected. It all makes sense. However, I do feel the third stanza/verse with the butterfly is a stanza that could stand some tweaking. Overall, good work.
