Child-Like To Childish

Wide eyed wonders, passing crayons on the down low
Blamelessness because they think nanny is  too preoccupied to press charges on cookie theft

And You'd Torture kids, with punches to their noses till you got the bloody knuckle
Yet You've got A deceptive young mind
You're meek-fullness guards these illegal violations 

Now you get temper tantrums when you don't get the dwink from your sippy-cup
You start acting babyish because you couldn't nap nap with pwitty pwincess

You said bad words and did bad things
 mommy wasn't watching


But you got caught by nanny and she says, 
"timeout for life and
 spanky till death!"

Mommy finished the fairy tale ,this is the end.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.

Jomarc, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
