A Child's Reality

An interesting piece and one that I agree with wholeheartedly. I feel that children don't get enough play time, or that they are stuck to computers/gaming indoors. When a child is curious do we answer or put them off because we're busy? Thanks for writing this piece!

A child's enquiring mind should never be suppressed. The imagination of a child is a wonderful thing which should be nurtured. So much knowledge is assimilated in the formative years. Interesting poem and clear message. Good luck in the contest. Faye

Thank you Faye for your great comments.

Dear amada,
An imaginative poem seeing life through a child's eyes. I like the way you use letters like sums, making the reader think that the child is working out how things work like sums in their head. The construction of the poem seems to work with this piece and keeps an ebb and flow to your words. A very good entry to the free verse competition, I wish you luck in the competition.

Comment from Pantygynt
Unfortunately I have yet to see "The Theory of Everything" so perhaps I am at disadvantage here. It would seem that we have an attempt here to express all emotions as algebraic equations. It's an idea but not one that I wouyld want to be involved in. Nevertheless the idea of introducing this in a poem is quite an adventure ant I believe you should be commended for having a go at it.
This has been an interesting experiment.

I love the unique use of mathematical equations to highlight your message in every stanza of your poem. It made the poem really unique and interesting. We all do have the child in us that usually comes out to play. Thanks for sharing this excellent poem.

It's the question, not the answer,
That enthralls the child. - So true!
Very nice artwork to support this piece. I like the equations you have included. I think everyone needs to learn how to play more and not forget how to be a child, just have fun.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your poem was fun to read. It made great sense. I like that you said it is the questions not the answers that interest children. The artwork is perfect. I like the format you chose for this poem. It displays the lines in an interesting way. The flow of lines is good.
I see no changes. Good job with a fun, but interesting and valuable poem. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Amada, this is a very different entry for this particular free verse competition, your way of describing or discovering the inner child is inspirational, this is a beautifully constructed poem and should do very well, I truly wish you the best of luck dear friend.

life is a series of incidences. Some Good, some bad. On can attempt to change, but may not be able to. The waves of reality flow through one's Thoughts. These are the thoughts your poem invokes with me.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
A lovely poem on the way children daydream. Nice use of equations, unusual. I like the phrase 'It's the question, not the answer, that enthrals the child'. But sometimes they want answers - how many children forever ask WHY to every answer they are given LOL. I particularly like 'Let the question live, before she outgrows the answer' - very well written. I wish I had asked more questions though before it became too late. Loved this read. Warm regards Dorothy x
