The Big Rock (Revised) Poem by Dee Daffodil
The Big Rock (Revised)
When I was small,
I had it all.
Beaches to explore,
Trees to climb,
Meadows full of wild flowers,
And of course,
The big rock.
The big rock was huge,
When I was seven,
And upon it I would climb,
With fishin rod in hand,
To stake my claim,
On all that lay below.
This was my rock,
And mine alone.
My safe haven,
My royal throne,
My happy place,
My home sweet home.
From my perch up high,
I could watch the sky,
Or wait for the tides to change.
It was wonderful there,
And so full of life.
A child's safe haven,
Free from all strife.

One of my most beautiful experiences was climbing Ben Nevis in Scotland, The views were unspeakably wonderful, the eye drawn into the distance and such a peace all around, Thankyou for this great poem and thankyou also for the lovely memories Love Duncan X
Ahhhh... and the heat they throw off later in the day when the sun is fading is like a mother's loving hug. -chuck
You took this reader right to that rock, had him fishing there with you and looking down in to the sea. Evocative and picturesque writing. Great work. jim xx
This is an excellent poem Dee. You have a real affinity with the child's view of the world and an ability to translate it for the rest of us. Well structured and not over-worded. Fine work. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxx
