Inner Child

The child that lies inside of me Being so blind that it cannot see. That inner child refuses to grow In growing, maturity, you show. Baby steps, makes you grow, you see It is easy like A, B, C. The child was in a playful mood I laughed until it felt so good. I will grow up one of these days For now, I will remain this way. Phyllis Babcock 1/20/12

Perfect line 1 the CHILD that LIES in SIDE of me-line 2 is off because you started with is so, is so BLIND that it CAN not SEE Think about this Phyll if your word starts with a vowel it is more likely to have a ..soft/unstressed sound aye? words like a,an, and, the are almost always unstressed[Don't forget you can go back & read the older blogs] Just enter this in the contest & I will help you more by working on it with you in the blog HUGS and THanks so much for being such a great teacher!PS note your meter on the bottom as * iambic tetrameter
