It's great to let the child in us out of the box every once and a while and let our imagination run wild and playful. Great job...Happy and uplifting.

This is great. The kids know how to think outside the box, and we often need to let them show us the way. I thought this was great. Well done.

You are very well versed in whimsy, and I liked reading y our poem because it gave me a spark of inspiration. I think I'll dare to do something different today.

Victor, this is very well written lyrics/poetry. Your words are strong and beautifully described. This makes for a very vivid image. I enjoy the flow and the rhythym to this a lot. Have you put this to music yet? I play guitar and sing, and try writing lyrics myself sometimes. Great work, kathy58

    Dear Kathy, thank you for your review. I am not able to play a musical instrument, unfortunately. I hear, sometimes, melodies in my head. I have written, I think three poems/lyrics and would love to put them to music. Am I just totlly loco in thinking there could be a commercial market for them?

This is a wonderful fantasy poem and it caught me up in the sheer excitement of the mood and vivid imagery. I think each of us can use a little fun in our lives and this is a fun poem! Blessings! sandra

I like this poem - and the interesting choice of artwork...

It is a fun piece to read, with lots of childhood images (so at my age, I don't climb trees like I used to - who am I kidding, I don't climb trees at all...

In the second verse:

But if you're anxious to see

beyond that you know

come with me.

I wonder if "what" may be a better choice than "that" - as in the 7th verse. "That" doesn't flow off the tongue for me...

Although seemingly innocent and fun, this piece reads a little like the pied piper, with a hint of danger that seems to linger...

When you're anxious to see

beyond what you know

come with me.

Hmm, food for thought!!!

Good job.

    Hi, thanks for your review. U know, I consternated over that very decision. Beyond that U know was my first inclination for all verses. and I picked it on purpose because of the mild stumble that occurs. But I thought readers may get annoyed, so I changed it for the rest of the poem.

Cute and fun to read. It's been years since I climbed a tree, but for some reason I now have the urge. My teenager will think I finally went crazy. Good job with this poem.
