Is a nice thought with a nostalgic feel. Compact and compelling. It's so interesting to see all of our different interpretations. Very good.

Hello Chrissy710, A carefree poem ~ whimsical too.

I especially liked:

streets with fences made of wood
wooden stick to make a noise
noisy clatter as I stroll

(Imagine that ... a fence made of wood.
Soon everything will be made of plastic
or some form of imitation -- like so
many things in recent life.)

A fun, but thought-provoking poem. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. Latebloomer

Hi Christine :)
I really enjoyed your interpretation of the artwork.
It's so light, nostalgic and wistful.
I love how each line begins with the end word (or derivative of the end word) of the line before.
Really effective and a lovely read.
Kindest regards as always, Debra :)

Hi Chrissy. I enjoyed your "carefree" post for this Picture This challenge. Childhood was different back then, many more outdoorsy times than the kids of today, it seems. Marilyn

Hi Christine, I have been known to do things like this. I decided to never lose my childish side. I love the way you bring the last word of each line down to start the next line. It is very effective. Yes, wouldn't it be nice to be carefree again.

Six lines of carefree free verse as an illustration of the nature of what it is to be a child. This works so well in what it sets out to do, both in the words used in the poem, the content if you like and the form, completely untrammelled by rhyme scheme, syllable count or meter. Free as a bird.

How sweet to see the innocent
That knows how to play so well
Free to make noise as well
Thinking of life that moves so well

Sweet innocent life of old
Where has those days gone
Can we find the same today
For the child that is free to grow

Comment from Leineco

I really like the purity of this! Just spontaneous Zeitgeist the picture evoked.

A momentary flash back to a time when life was as simple as carefree
wandering and the playfulness of "just because" noise!

I totally enjoyed reading this :-)

Hi Leineco. Yes this image just oozed the innocence of childhood and I wonder how many of us ran along a fence with a stick I know I did LOL. Thanks you for your lovely review Cheers Christine😀
