Childhood Poem by Soran M. H

Childhood

Rating: 5.0


Childhood

There is a child inside
abandoned - for him
the nursery is a dream out of reach
where he could learn life's alphabet
from the beginning
*
When he is in the park
swings very fast like wants to fly
such a bird in the sky,
but those who don't understand
the language of poetry
laugh at him and say
"How foolish he is! "
*
There is a child inside
who will never grow up -
scares of: sticks, weapons
darkness and snakes
who wishes only for a bike
to ride the rainbow's road
and never come down -
but time will not
lend him a hand
*
the child inside me
never stops crying,
is always hungry

A well chosen topic for these times, my friend. I think today's childhood may well be more stressful than ours. Stressful and painful and without adequate reward to help our children along the way. Thank you ver much....10++

We are blessed that we can understand poetry. We can feel and see the true meaning of life.

One of the best poems I have read on childhood. Soran's poetry has always that magic that will grip /lure a reader to revisit his works.
