I wander frequently down these halls searching for something I feel I've lost something I know I left here somewhere inside a locker or under the stairs... Maybe I left it in gym class or history or maybe in drama or on the football field... I don't know when or where I lost it but somewhere along the lines I lost my innocence... can you help me find it? chris Never be a carbon copy of anybody...make your own impressions. - ANON. |

I think I found it!!!! Go to the mirror and look....What do you see? Thats where it is, inside you....we all still have it deep down in there somewhere. Man, I am one to talk....lol...I had better go look at myself and remember what I just told you.  Take Care Jenn E |

yeah..that innocence...once its gone..its hard to find again..you have children? thats where the innocence is..follow the children..do what they do..look at things from their level...you'll find it (and for you, that mirror thing might work...you do have an innocent face... )hugs, dg theres no such thing as a failure who keeps trying--coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace. -j popper |

I don't think innocence is retrievable, but I would help you look for it if you persisted anyway. I enjoyed this poem because it is a very familiar feeling. Once.... I am many. |

ChrisG~ This is a very good piece. Innocence sneaks away from us ... or was it really ever there ? I enjoy your musings of the night. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Chris I wrote a poem titled "What is Innocence" and I included some things that I thought symbolized innocence. But after reading your poem, I feel that all our innocence was lost somewhere during our teenage years. The only way to locate it is through reminiscing. Hopefully our memories are joyful of that time of innocence lost.< !signature--> Garfield [This message has been edited by ggrn3 (edited 09-28-2000).] |

Chris, a poem of a question that one ponders their whole life perhaps and yet inside our hearts resides the breath of innocence one pure and kind enduring a lifetime A pleasure to read this poem you write Thank you Coco |

This is excellent...Seems this moment comes and when you realize your innocence is lost and as desperately as you would like to know when and where you left it behind...you never truly know...perhaps many moments combined...You've given me pause to ponder...thank you!! Superb writing~ |

Your poetic search for innocence lost is well expressed in this piece. How easily and unassumingly the loss of innocence can befall us, leaving us confused and unclear as to how it even escaped ... very effective in your message, I believe. Thank you for an insightful read ~ Rainydays |

Nicely written..that is what is so beautiful about a baby..the innocence..but we are not babies anymore...are we?  ~Victoria~ A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) |

Some of US still are Victoria...infants that is... still new to life, new to love, new to emotions, and new to the cruelty that the world can send to us and new to the beauty of the earth and all things on it... as time slips away and steals from us the innocence of our youth we can still remain as infants and enjoy the discovery of all that is new and untouched in our worlds....adn possibly still reclaim some of that innocence even if only for a little while... thank you all for the wonderful responses...i've been gone a while, for reasons I can't explain... but i hope to return soon with more new insightful work for everyone to enjoy... thanks again.. chris Never be a carbon copy of anybody...make your own impressions. - ANON. |
