John Michaels Poet Nonet

Through a Child's Eyes

The mound of fresh soil, which does protrude.
Black clouds pregnant with foreboding,
the heavens reflect the mood.
I feel all alone here,
so lost and subdued.
Through a child’s eyes
and thus viewed,
the world’s
skewed.

Fantastic and enjoyed! John Michaels November 18, 2017 at 1:31 PM Thanks for the kind comments, Susan. All the best, John!

Alexis Y. November 1, 2017 at 6:20 PM Hi John, I really enjoyed "Through a Child's Eyes". It really hit home. The last four lines summed up your well written Nonet very well. Thanks for visiting me today:-) Alexis John Michaels November 1, 2017 at 6:23 PM Thank you for the very kind comments, Alexis (and thanks for the nudge my memory needed to retrieve this from my "oldies"). All the best, John.
