Never more a little girl, than when I looked up to you Singing to myself, and dreaming sunny gold and blue Did I really see the shape and share of things to come When I was never told, a gesture grand or cookie crumb Never more a little girl, how could I say or give that up Swinging in the breeze, to nibble of the tender buttercup Did I really say what filled my heart with clear detail? When did the sky grow dark, should I again exhale? Never more a little girl, than when I cry into the night Seeking someone warm within the cold that grips me tight Did I really seem so easily mislead, when so carefully I asked? When I allowed myself to pick the petals in the meadow grass Copyright Kkh 3/9/02 [This message has been edited by ThisDiamond (03-09-2002 10:53 PM).] |

Yes there was so much in your poem, the feeling, the images, excellent work! The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. |

Well now, my sweet... This is a delightful poetic treat. Well written, with many things to think about in this one. I really like this: " Never more a little girl, than when I cry into the night Seeking someone warm within the cold that grips me tight" |
