What a wonder it would be to know the thoughts of the little ones. I have always wondered what babies think about, what they are smiling about when no one is really watching. Very cute poem...and picture.

Dave, thank you so much. Sawyer is now at that amazing age where he learns a dozen new words a day, so he is able to tell us a lot about what he's thinking now. A couple days ago his parents took him out into the yard to experience rain since L.A. has had NONE in the past 8 months. He felt about two drops and started yelling, all done, all done. wet wet. LOL Which, to me, proves he is one smart boy. :-) Brooke

how sweet is that
Comment from Dom G Robles
The two-stanza poem and the picture of a child (with his face
partly hidden), is amusing. The poem, as well as the picture,
reveals happiness. It is to me, tricky. But what I suppose the poem is saying is: When seen by a third party through the eyes of the first person, (the subject), there is extreme joy, hence the madness of merriment). I am just guessing, and I could be wrong.

You Sawyer has to be crowned prince of inspiration. You poem evokes the sweetness and joy that comes from playing such a simple game as peek a boo with a child. One more for his collection I am sure.

How darling! Just like Sawyer, my little Justin loves to play peek-a-boo...but don't they all? He had his first fever last night and today but is already on the mend. These little guys are a wonderment in so many ways. Hugs, Janet

Kids have the coolest toys these days! I enjoyed your poem, Brooke, and can relate to the joy I see when looking into the eyes of a smiling kid. Enjoyed your rhymes.
Smiles,

inviting alliteration in madness/merriment, world/when and
pointing and peek-a-boo. To be able to see through the eyes of a child would most certainly buy one a moment of relief.

One of my favorite games to play with a favored child is to play peekaboo. I could spend hours engaged in this silly game, but only if the child is having fun.

My son and I used to spend hours playing peek-a-boo - my daughter enjoyed it but not nearly as much as her brother did. But now that she's a mom, she plays with her son all the time :-) Thanks so much, nomi :-) Brooke

Another wonderful poem. I'm always trying to figure out what my boys are contemplating - so far, I'm failing. Very enjoyable poem :-)

We could all use more of the "madness of merriment" in our lives! I am glad Mirando took this neat picture to inspire you, and I enjoyed your "whimsy" plus use of alliteration. Many hugs- Joan

Peek-a-boo - Nana loves you. Great presentation and congrats for All Time Best. We do wonder what children are thinking and what they make of the world they grow up in. Certainly has to be more fun than our world at war. Blessings, K.

Thank you so much, Kay. It drizzled in L.A. last night. Miranda and Andy took Sawyer outside for his first real rain experience. A few drops hit him and he declared - All done. All done. Wet. Wet.
He's getting pretty good at letting people know what he's thinking now. LOL :-) Brooke
