Innocence

A barefoot child dresses eagerly
Forgetting greater harm
Interested just knowing life
Magical nights only prey
Quietly recalling stories
Tracing unknown visions
Without xenophobia 
Yearning zero

Good use of the ABC form--a challenging one. It flows well which is difficult given the letter constraints. Congratulations on your win in Mac's contest. Enjoy your success. Keep on writing. Karen
