Little boy.

by Miu   Nov 11, 2008


Red, yellow colored tears floating through the air.
Little boy with a cart, at stone rock he stares.
"Hi mum, hi dad," and he hides his eyes.
Those leaves won't be blinded by his cries.

Short shorts, white shirt turning gray.
"New parents, they just don't love me that same way."
Cold shivers during the night, cloudy days.
He lays his head down, thinking, why didn't they take him away.

    Wow, short and packed with vivid emotion. The imagery was just so surreal, excellent work! Very sad and emotional, left tears running down my face just thinking that kids have to deal with loss at such an early age.

    Great work, Keep up the great work!

    "Cold shivers during the night, cloudy days."
    Instead of 'during', I think, 'through' would do the job better
    Cold shivers through the night, cloudy days.

    Besides that line, the imagery is very real and the words are original.

    "New parents, they just don't love me that same way."
    This is my favourite line out of this whole poem. This line brings out the emotions and sympathy of the reader.

    This very well written poem creates in me an image of a little boy longing for affection in parents with hearts of stone. Very moving

    Mom or mommy, is used in most of North America (especially the U.S.). It is used widely in the West Midlands, in the UK.

    mum or mummy, is used in the UK, Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand

    Now if you want to get technical, "Mama", is proper English, not "mum"

    And by the way, I am talking about the English language which is used in America, not England.

    She is from, Estonia which is Northern Europe. A majority of countries in Europe use, "mama" or a very close form of "mama" Which would still mean she used slang and not her proper language.

    I'd just like to make that clear to everyone that's all. Not sure how she was brought up, but based on what I know, this is correct.

    P.S. Sorry, I don't want to make this into a debate nor a chat. Please refrain from commented about this comment. If you want to dispute it, PM me.

    Peace, Joe
