You're so right we don't take the time to truly appreciate the awesome things that life have given us. Part of the reason we are so morally and emotionally bankrupt as a society is the total lack of gratitude. Good luck with the contest.

Thinking can be a good and bad thing. Nothing thinking is a very bad thing but over thinking is just as bad. I think we can all get lost of thought and I think we can all relate to this. Great job

A simply lovely Ron de let supported by an adorable picture. The mind of a child learning, learning, learning. The rhythm and rhyme of this piece is well balanced and move the reader forward so that the repeated first and last line are precise and perfect. Good luck. Glad I stopped by the poetry reviews and didn't miss this one.

Nice! And it is nice to catch them when they are deep in thought an processing what it is they have seen and heard. We never loose that habit, though the mystique fades a bitš???excellent use of the form, good luck!

    You're right - we tend to get a bit blase about the mystique when we grow up. It's good to be reminded of it from time to time. I appreciate the good luck wishes. All the best, Tony

You captured the wonderment of a child about the world and the power of words. I enjoyed your use of the Rondelet for this theme along with its rhymes and repeats. Well done and best wishes in the contest- Joan

When I am unable to speak, it's time to shut up. In that time, I learn from the accumulated opinions, feeling, and judgments that have been deposited in my brain. I am then a smarter person. I would like to think. I can relate to your poem. Great writing.

    Thanks, Philip. I very much appreciate your review. Yes, a moment or two of reflection before opening one's mouth is not a bad idea sometimes! Kind regards, Tony

Be careful what you say in front of a small child. They will repeat it at an embarrassing moment. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

This is a sweet Rondelet - I always wonder what they could be
thinking. Our grandson is only 8 months and sometimes looks so serious.
Your grand daughter is beautiful and I'm sure she will tell you her thought
someday soon.
Good luck in the contest.
Nancy
