That was a long time ago. Life isn't half as much fun for youngsters of today. I enjoyed your lovely poem, I was a tomboy too, good days weren't they? I think you've written a really good contest entry, it certainly brought back many memories for me. Well done and good luck! :)) Sandra xx

There is nothing like the curiosity and joy of a child. This is such a sweet write. I have seen children wanting to touch and explore this way. The artwork is adorable. You have done a fine job of entertaining us.

This does remind me of being young. Everything was so exiting and new. I like the way the second lines of succeeding couplets rhyme. Good luck in the contest.

Keep writing

This work has reached the exceptional level

A fantastic opening where a single word and a phrase tells us you're talking about a toddler.: waddled and "this side of brand new" The last line wowed me with its universal message. Most impressive.

Thank you for sharing this lovely piece with a moral to the story as well.

A very sweet poem about the new morning thru the child' eyes.
This made me think of my grandmother ( Nanny) her yard was always beautiful.
The rhyming was perfect. I did not get "were such a quick retreat" until I reread it.
Great job and I loved the picture.

An excellent work in non-rhyming couplets. The message ofbthevwork is subtle, but year still clear. I always made sure my kids enjoyed their childhood, that the "thorns of life" came when they could handle them, and, although it's a guessing game, a haven for little ones is always important. Beautifully written in great language, good luck, blessings, Roy

This poem, I've Arrived, finds the young explorer dodging a bullet as her hand full of thorns was postponed until some later introduction. Nice.
