A Beautiful Child Poem by Vaibhav Pandey
A Beautiful Child
A beautiful child, she was, in her wishful days,
shining like a star despite her impoverished state,
wearing a beautiful expression on her innocent face,
and came towards me with a smile so innate.
'Please give me a penny ', so softly she said.
Saying no to her could have broken her heart instead.
Avoiding such mistake, I gave the penny, the only one I had.
' What would you do with it? ', I asked her with some interest.
' I will buy a car ', in her naivety she replied.
Just a single penny, for her car, on what she had relied.
Left me wondering, she whiskered away, with a sweet imprint on my mind.
Ah! What a beautiful child she was, only one of her kind!
Such a poigant illustration of the beauty of innocence and youth, , , , seeing this picture reminded me of when I wrote 'Little Boy On The Bench' and 'Daughter'....
yet the cry of innocence on the corridor of poverty tears may glean to eyes as she begs for a penny to buy her dream, wonderful write heart touching, wellpenned,10+++++, thanks for sharing

This is a well expressed poem, Vaibhav, and from the length of several lines, I can tell it was one of your earliest efforts. When writing poems in verses, it is not effective to have one or two lines of extreme length like was done in your final verse inparticular. It is preferred to have lines of roughly a similar length, though they do not have to be excactly the same length. This is were the delicate art of editing and rewriting comes in. In your longer lines, you should try finding shorter words to use, or to delet which words are not necessary, or simply re-phrase the line to be shorter. You will learn all of this in due time, but for an early effort, I am impressed with how this poem is expressed. Carl.
