Child Play

Child Play

‘Where is your Daddy, Daddy?’
                                 ‘On the moon, how do he get there?’

‘You say with the ladder, he good, sleep, dream,    he play?’



Long pause,……………..serious face,……………decisive silence!!!



‘Sleep good, play is better and ladder,…I  want more bricks’.

‘Red Lego please, red no sleep, red play with moon, Daddy’.


3rd July 2017 written for contest 'Thoughts of 3 year olds'

Meant to be couplet. Well, many 3 year old may not be able to initiate rhyme that well. And can they always count to 2? So this is a couplet and it rhymes, to the best of a 3 year old child's ability...

I didn't know it was for a contest until the end. I was intrigued with the words and innocent feel of the piece. I would say you more than succeeded with this piece.

Thank you Andrea. To be honest, I wrote the little poem for the respective poem and realised afterwards, it should have been done in couplet form. Tried to rescue it. Childish (?). Many wishes, Kai
