Hi, people.

I enjoy writing about children (and for children).

Here you are, one for the ladies:

                                  "A Child's Sketch".

Thank you for doing this, @prydefoltz.

So, I am going to be completely honest, because I feel like from your comments you are a pretty straightforward person also. I did not follow the meaning , I caught a few bits and the language was descriptive and surreal, but I couldn't grasp what it was getting too- and my spanish is far to infantile to comprehend the note you put on it . It might be partly due to your comment about enjoying to write about and for children that primed me for a light happy reading . I'm guessing you have a higher IQ than I and I am just not able to follow ;)

Nothing to do with IQs XD

I appreciate your sincerity. I guess it's a bit confusing that there aren't clear cut conclusions but some wandering through memories and abstract reflections.

I loved your poem, btw, @kilbride

The question is what gives a poem staying power ... wordplay can indeed help a poem standout but there needs to be an energetic sense of authenticity that allows a poem to endure.

And that is certainly difficult to achieve, @pridefoltz. Also it's something the reader must be able to identify in most of your work, something that defines you (and that they get to like).
