    That precious inner child..... keep her and love her as you would your own. Isn't that the best picture? I have such luck with the wonderful artists on FA. Love, Anita.

A riveting poem and fascinating author notes. The build is really well done as the pace picks up and the demands move into flight. It is interesting in its movement between rhymed and free verse. The only spag I note is you need an r placed:

Brightly they said,
"Give us you(r) child,

    Thanks Wendy, will edit that. I don't know about my fascination with things like your fave. Wait for the next one.:) I watch scary movies a quite often with K with whom I live, she's a real fan. And I was reading Edgar..Poe when I was a kid already. When I was a kid, I'd always had to stop and bob down and closely examine anything that was dead. Do you think I'm a weirdo? You don't have to answer that.... and I don't like people who tell lies :) ,Anita

    I have no problem with a fascination with death, unless you also feel compelled to cause it. I do draw the line there ;)

This speaks there is an inner child always within us; as one uses it so is the relationship and course of living; as abusing relationship brings unhappiness; let child play due roles; I liked.

    Yes, we have great responsibility for our selves - we must learn to take this responsibility in order to evolve and in order for the child to grow properly.

Wow... great description of the inner child. I didn't realize what was going on until I read your notes, and I needed to because it was not obvious in the actual narrative. Shouldn't there be such a clue, if this is your goal?

After reading the notes, the piece meant more. But I don't thing author's notes should have to be read to understand what a poem means.

    Thanks emptypage. Exactly the type of feedback I need. The poem should speak for itself - stand alone without author's notes to tell you what it's about. I did wonder whether I'd done it and that's why I'm here - to learn what works - I can't give myself feedback!!!!:):) We all know we're not good at that. I shall rework this piece. Thanks ever so much, Aniita

    Glad I could help. Even without the notes, the poem was good.

Anio,

This is a beautiful poem. I liked it very much. It was kind of exciting you might say. It made for an enjoyable read. The flow was smooth. The theme well thought out. The descriptive words are well chosen.

There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

    Thanks so much patty. You know this is an actual experience I had in deep, deep meditation when I was also doing Inner Child work as therapy to help with my depression. I went into such a deep trance that I actually 'saw' this scene (there was more) and I was 'part of' this chase - well, it taught me a lot in one got - about all of my 'selves' that I had to now step forward as an adult, and bring Home to safety......... took many years, long story, Anita

Hello my friend, I very much enjoyed reading this nicely written poem. I like the rhyming scheme throughout. I think that the structure and flow was very soft and smoothly done. I like the alliteration. Thank you very much for sharing this. God bless you. With love, Lala

    And with Love, Lala, I thank you again for your always so helpful and encouraging reviews. This was an actual experience of mine. I was in deep, deep meditation - then in a 'trance-like' state - then I 'saw' this and I 'was this' - I 'ran in this chase' - that's why I can write about it like this. It was the way that I was 'taught' where to keep my inner child safe from abuse. Anita
