Love your moment of introspection here . . . I think everyone wonders what causes the sparkles in a child's eyes. Your title is nicely crafted & memorable in its originality. I love the way you've conveyed that merriment is contagious, when around a child -- a beautiful sentiment. Thanks for sharing! *smile*

Love the rhythm of this one, Brooke. It just bounces off the tongue! Seven and three - my two lucky numbers! LOL!
I like the whimsy, the question in your words. And just look at that little monkey! What a cutie.

Comment from Caressa_08
Here is a toy that probably has much meaning & enjoyable learning for Sawyer, and a good big one to play peek-a-boo. A Madness of Merriment is a good name to describe it & was a entertaining read, with a good picture to highlight & think Sawyer is hiding a peek-a-boo smile & a giggle.

Very interesting. That is one of the joys and bonuses of having children. That sense of seeing the world through new eyes. Where every little thing isa wonder. A wonder that we used to know.

Children can give us so much joy within our lives
Their smile and ways make us smile.

Comment from GWHARGIS
There is nothing like seeing the world through the eyes of a child. Everything is new and everything is possible. Liked the wonder in each line. Nice image to go along with it. Great poem.

Brooke, I enjoyed this interesting rhyming scheme and meter. It asks a very intriguing question. Wouldn't we love to step in the thought process and see what the impressions are. :0 GracieAnn

Comment from the blue pixel
I love, love, love, love this one Brooke. Sometimes the short is indeed sweet and perfectly childlike yet written by an adult appreciator of 'merriment madness, a paradoxical alliteration and opener. Peek-a-boo is such fun for both child and adult and how much children learn from this game. It is a great teacher that although someone has disappeared for a moment, they are really there or will be right back. I suffered from separation as a child and still do to a point so you describe a vital lesson in the happiest cutest of ways. xxx Carol

Those eyes of a child, so appealing to parents.
New eyes see only pure truth.
I often wonder as I too watch my grand children play.
A nice thought provoking poem.
