Your choice of Pantygynt's Cycles form is perfect for this recount of the cycles in your life. It is great reading for all young girls too as they embark on their journey. I enjoyed your rhymes and admire your "fantasies". Smiles- Joan

You're right, the form is perfect for describing life cycles - I could have gone on and on really, it's a pretty brief description of a life! I guess it's just saying, childhood dreams usually come to fruition in subtle ways :)) Carol

Hi Carol, two things. I'm late in reviewing and I don't have a six to send your way. This is just such a wonderful poem where we follow your dreams as a child and where you are today. It's very well written and joy to read. All the best. Ulla:)))

I would have to say, whatever we dreamed of being when young, life seems to countermand and we finish up in a role completely different from what we envisaged! Loved your take on this in your normal poetically athletic way, excellently written Carol, well done, blessings, Roy

That's so true, Roy - those dreams kids have don't often get realized exactly the way they were envisioned...but that's okay! Hugs, Carol

Well done Carol.

I read this earlier and thought I'd sent you your six stars.
You don't seem to regret your past decisions. They brought you to where you are today with a deep appreciation for life, nature, sea, sky, flora, fauna--every experience afforded you.

You make this form seem so easy. I know it's not. Your words flow so easily. It's like hearing you speak.
Magical story of a girl growing up and becoming who she is today.

Thanks so much, Ellen. Of course there are things I regret, but I think it's better to look forward the best we can. Overall I do feel pretty happy with the way things turned out :)) Hugs, Carol

You made it rhyme. Looks as if the girl is a victim of many who dare to dream. Age never quits, it comes regardless the miles. LOL. Thanks for sharing

Yep, age just keeps on rolling. The problem is, the older we get, the faster it goes! Not fair, lol. Thanks, Ben.

Oh, so lovely...just a natural way with words that sway any emotions.
So simple, yet so rich and giving. That is what poetry is about...the power of words to deliver thought in its original form.
Bravo.
Best wishes,
RG

Lovely sentiments here, Carol. I love the way you think. I wouldn't change a thing either, personally.
Well written and little Carol Cee is quite the rock star. ;)

One note:
according to howmanysyllables.com, interest has three syllables. Though many people pronounce it in'trest, it's actually in'ter'est (but I won't tell) lol

great fun and so full of wisdom that only those who have lived a full life can understand. Great job
Cat

Hi Cat, thanks for taking a look. I hear what you're saying about interest, but I'm honestly not that worried about it..lol. Not like I have a publisher breathing down my neck! ;)

I absolutely love your pantygynt. The lofty thoughts of a young girl from nun to astronaut whilst pondering on a swing behind a curtain is just gorgeous.

Your metre smooth and rhymes delicious and just an excellent poem.

Love this poem. I like how the young lady changes her path to one of playing on earth and seas and visits worlds in fantasies. I can relate the changing of her path. Excellent poetic form and a tale that holds the reader's interest.
