Comment from Bill Schott
This short poem, Youth, presented in four lines and fifteen words, reminds the readers that it is a relatively brief trek from toddler to teen and from young adult to the pasture.

Comment from Gert sherwood
Hello author
Smiles, to you how you described how youth is swished like downy feathers from ducks and the whisking of the fluff
from dandelions and the delicate wings of butterflies Gert

Enjoyed this sweet remembrance of youth in this brief poem. I like the use of all these soft, delicate and ephemeral things like duckling down, dandelion fluff and butterfly wings.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written short poem about youth that goes by too quickly, before we take notice it is over and we need to see things from and adult point of view and often the magic is lost.

Indeed the magic of youth is too quickly lost. Many thanks, Sandra, for sharing YOUTH and your kind praise. Rod
Comment from BeasPeas
This is a lovely short poem, illustrated well. As we get older it seems youth evaporates quickly. I like your examples of ducklings' soft down, dandelion puffs and butterfly wings--all good representations. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

Hi Marilyn. I really appreciate your review of YOUTH. I saw the picture and could not resist writing this short poem. The little girl reminds me of my granddaughter who is growing up so fast. Rod

Comment from Dean Kuch
You've got a lotta things goin' on here, Anonymous Poet.
Lost youth, fluffy dandelion puffs billowing briskly in the breeze.
The soft, silken wings of a dainty butterfly...
Nice entry, best of luck.

How true these sentiments are as expressed here in this short poem - fleeing and transitory and what a superb pic to illustrate - a moment in the natural world
