Comment from AnnieGale
I loved reading this. It does capture that simpler time of our youth, where imaginations run wild. Climbing trees without a care in the world. This sonnet is beautifully written and the artwork just fits so perfectly.

Comment from Poetic Friend
Yes, how wonderful that would be-- to view the world as a ten years old would (with innocence fantasiy, and hope).
I love the poetic devices (imagery and alliteration) that you utilized in this sonnet.
This poem uplifts the reader.
Good luck in the contest.

This is a beautiful poem. It made me start thinking about when I was young. I was going to enter this contest, but after reading this, I think I'll pass. Great job, thank you for sharing this, and best of luck to you in the contest.

Comment from June Sargent
What a beautiful poem about childhood dreams. And of the longing for a dad who would stay. A land of tiny dinosaurs. Great imagery. Enjoyed it. Well done!

Comment from Eternal Muse
That was beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. I used to love climbing trees when I was a teenager. I was quite a tomboy then, wearing pants most of the time, bike riding through country wilderness, ice skating frozen ponds and skiing. One day I climbed a tree real high. All of a sudden, to my horror, I felt a branch I was standing on break and I started falling. I was falling and falling. My whole life passed before me. Only my wearing a skirt saved my life that day. A skirt caught on a branch which was close to the ground, it broke too, but it loosened the fall. I'll never forget the horror of that day and I thanked God for looking after me.
Your beautiful sonnet, perfectly structured technically, brought a plethora of memories. Thank you, and best of luck in the contest.

Wow! I am thrilled by your wonderful response to my sonnet and that six-star bonus. I really enjoyed hearing about your experience, and would not be surprised if it, too, becomes a posted story or poem on FanStory someday. Many, many thanks.

I used a part of this story in my Crown of heroic sonnets a few years back. I'll never forget that experience.
Comment from Bill Schott
This Shakespearean sonnet, Childhood Dreams, has the correct format and works its way to the crux of a young girls saddest regret about what life was missing as a child.

Dear Mystery Poet,
I'm reading through the selections in the voting booth for sonnets, and I have to tell you -- hands down -- yours has been the best I've read so far. And I can't imagine that anyone else to come will touch it. Lovely, lovely job! I truly enjoyed!
