    I really enjoyed reading this! It made me really miss being a young child, when all that mattered in the world, was if you finished your painting and if you received praise for it haha.
    The imagery in your poem was fantastic, a very clear picture was painted in my mind the whole way through. To the little cute girl, to the painting that she was working on.
    The flow was also good, an amazing write!

    "Kneeling on a brown stool, slouching slightly,
    Apple red curls bouncing off her blue dress.
    Deep green eyes jaunty, a heart so genial,
    Her tiny hands gingerly painting a masterpiece"

    ^^ I adore this opening stanza, the imagery you portray is beautifully done, it creates such striking visuals in my mind and I really liked the last line, as the reader I want to find out what she's painting, instantly leaving me hooked.

    "Two fingers orange, three fingers purple,
    Creating divergent lines on cream paper.
    Glancing up to catch her teacher's eye,
    She receives a heartfelt smile of wonder"

    ^^Again, I adore the imagery you paint within this piece. I enjoyed this stanza, I find it to be very serene, and the last line made me myself smile as well.

    "More fingers swim gleefully in the rainbow sea,
    Then find their way hastily back to dry land.
    Adding elaborate patterns one by one,
    Paint splashing and veering left and right.

    A lively laugh echoes through the classroom,
    Enlightening every ear that happens to hear it.
    For nothing could measure the amount of fun,
    She was experiencing through finger painting."

    ^^Favourite stanzas so far. I'm still amazed at how striking the imagery is throughout, it's almost like I can -see- everything that you're describing throughout.

    "Hands sticky, and face smeared with green paint,
    A satisfied sigh escapes from her shining lips.
    Wishing for the clock to just sit and stop,
    But alas, good times must come to an end.

    "A job well done," her teacher calls out,
    "What exuberant colors and creativity!"
    The little girl's heart soars many feet above,
    As she leaves her table, her head up high. "

    ^^What a beautiful way to close this piece! I really enjoyed the closing lines, it made me feel all content, I found the idea behind the poem to be both original and unique in concept and it made for a refreshing read.

    The flow was flawless throughout, and that mixed with the content, the imagery, it all melted together to create a beautiful write and a beautiful read.

    This was a great poem. You took a thing as simple as a little girl fingerpainting and made the moment expand. It caught my attention right away and a lot of poems don't do that. By the end of the poem, I could feel the little girl's glee, and throughout the poem I could see what was happening. Amazing detail.

    This poem was very well done, it expressed nearly every detail that the little girl would have felt & had a great description to.

    I think that you have done a wonderful job. Well done & great effort.
