Childhood For Sale Poem by Amy Marie

Its too expensive to be sold! Sell all my toys but not my childhood. A very simple but profound way to deal with a subject of grave importance. Our present generation of children are so exposed that one wonders if childhood in a sense will soon become something of the past. Well done my freind.

'a pink dollhouse full of memory-rooms' ~ wow, I love that! ! Great poem!

A nice poem to be read and appreciated as well. Childhood is one the precious prize from God. It is the stage when we are innocent with the world's affairs and other critical matters. We are free from sin and sinful thought as well. Dear Amy, if life is a body, childhood is its heart. It can't be sold. Maybe it is your poverty to sell it. However, nice to read your poem.

Such beautiful work, like it.. :)

Once i explored it! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

The childhood may be bitter or happy. We cannot quote a price to it. Being an astronomer probing the galaxies, you dare to take the childhood simple to buy or sell.The dolls you used will come often to your fore conscious mind as you are growing old. You have a different view that is laudable.

You have apparently elicited a lot of feelings through this poem and I agree. It is too precious to forfeit. Childhood is something that is being exploited to appease the guilty conscience of adults. Childhood can be a happy time if only children were allowed to consider themselves happy. Read mine – I Cannot Return – Adeline

Great poem. Wonderfully conceived. Full of compassion for deprived childhood. Childhood is a period when a child is at his most innocent stage. Nobody has right to take away his innocence. I rate the poem 10/10. Thanks for sharing.....
