What a REFRESHING read! You make being "different" not only an adventure but a God-given RIGHT! Thanks for shining the light on the talents we have yet to discover.

This is a really cute and entertaining poem. The simplicity of it while still carrying the serious message that the mind is free despite whatever rules the world tries to force upon it is rather gratifying to see. Well done.

I love the picture
Love the rhyme
Your granson looks so happy in his cardboard fortress. My children did that two. They'd even ask neighbors who were getting new appliances if they could have their boxes to add to their forts. Nice picture and thoughts. Thank you for sharing.

I don't believe that there is anything that can contain the imagination of a child, especially one such as Sawyer. A beautiful poem with an exceptional picture.

Hi,:-) Brooke,
"They Try to Box Me In" is an excellent rhyming quatrain poem expressing the mischevious desire of of a young boy to ignore boundaries. It has good meter and a rhyme scheme AbCb of good rhymes. It has excellent figurative language (what lives within the mind)

I loved your poem and the accompanying photograph. You are so right, no one should be boxed into anything. We each have the ability to be whatever we strive for ourselves. The problem, as I see it, is that so many people blame everyone else for there own misgivings. They will never succeed until they face their own shortcomings and grow up. Even though I'm chronically ill and have been for the last eight years, I haven't let it dictate who or what I am. Good job.

Hi Brooke,
How true, how true. Man's creativity is such a natural function of the human mind, be it used in the arts or the technical field, etc.
