Children (Acrostic)

by Meena Krish   Jun 7, 2011


Carefree life they lead with a smile
Hiding mischievous thought in their eyes,
Innocent mind open to fearless freedom, where
Love and laughter bursts and flare,
Delving into forbidden places patience they test,
Rebellious they become when order rules the nest
Everlasting energy knows no end, until the hour of
Night as sleep ushers them to bed with warm hugs.

    I liked the main message of this poem and also how you made this into a acrostic. Good job with that but the only thing I noticed, possibly it was just the way I was reading it or something, is that the flow wasn't really continuous throughout the poem. It seemed to break up at times and get back on track but then mess up again. It could be just me though. :P

    Your poem had some good imagery that I know many parents can relate to and also draw memories from of when they were raising their kids or maybe for parents raising a child right now. There was also some emotion in the lines which made the poem seem more real and heart felt.

    In all, you wrote a great acrostic and with some minor changes I think it could make a wonderful poem but of course you dont have to change it as I think its nice how it is but it would read smoother. I hope you continue to write different forms to test your talent and creativity. Great job and keep writing!

    Brings to mind images of children at play and then all snuggled in their beds at night. Nice.
