Notes About The Poem

For Nette Onclaud's Wonder Of Soul's Expression Poetry Contest

_________________________________________________________________________________________

My Inner Child

Ever since my remembrances began,
 a large number of them have been entwined
with feelings of great pleasure in my mind.
 I skated, hopped on rides, danced, biked and swam.
 Labor I shunned. I'm more to fun inclined.
Some fun of mine I've had to leave behind,
yet always I will be a Peter Pan!

Congratulations on your top win in this contest with a lovely flowing poem recalling in a snapshop pleasant memories of youth and linking it with the spirit of Peter Pan. It seems I may have read an earlier poem on same subject from a different aspect. Hope that you have started the new year on a pleasant footing.

Some of those things I wish I could still do! But today are other things that were not available in my youth!
