This is a very good piece about the confidence of youth. It gently hints at William Blakes's songs of innocence and experience, which basically puts forward the notion that youthful life is beautiful until society teaches us to fear and to hate and to feel shame.

Kids have so much to learn. As myself, I thought, I knew everything. Until I watched Jeopardy. That show will set you straight in a heart beat. Or Trivia Pursuit. It seems people have the same fears. This is a great poem.

    They do--but they have to act like they are more knowledgable than they can be. Thank you for your kind words.

You bring out well that young people often hide their insecurity with different things - like "walking with authority" in your poem, to hide our insecurity.

A very wise and clever poem with great message. Excellent creative imagery. It should do very well in the contest, I wish you luck with it.

Oh "foolishness thy name is youth" I think, especially young males seem very very foolish when growing, it's a wonder more don't kill themselves and others than they do, perhaps God doesn't allow them to. A lovely, we crafted poem to please the reader, well done, blessings Roy

Truly, morally, simply you have shown in rhymes in a few words stating youth has its moments and its minuses so is the effect in living; well said, well done; post more. ALCREATOR LITT DEAR (D R)

You did a great job with the "when I was young" prompt and guidelines. Things do change the older you become. Thank you for sharing this. Best wishes.
