A child's eyes

A poem about the wonders of the world when you're a child

When you look through a child's eyes 

Every hill is a mountain

Every puddle is an ocean

Every cardboard box is a ship

And the floor is lava

When you look through a child's eyes

Blankets can become a fort

Fairy tales could be real

Your neighbor is a witch

And people have homes in the clouds

When you look through a child's eyes

The world is full of magic and wonder

Clouds are made of sugar

And the moon is Swiss cheese

The mountains are waffle cones

And the snow is vanilla ice cream

Ashley, I was astonished by the vivid imagery and purity of this poem. It has all the qualities I look for in a poem: authenticity, originality, a genuine sense empowerment. I'll have to keep an eye on your work more closely :)

I don't even like kid's honestly, but this poem was brilliant and so true.
I loved it because I'ts so different not many people write about a subject like this, and because of the pure truth to it all.
Kids are so innocent and yes they see the world through compleatly different eyes then we do.
They also don't know about all the stresses of being an adult, to them life is brilliant, and wonderful.
It would be nice to live the world through a child's eyes again, but eventually everyone grows up, and life is far different then how it was when you were a kid.
Great tale i really enjoyed reading it :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that snow was ice cream

[Mikayla Rasmussen]
