Neverland

send me to a time 

where i can get lost 

send me to a bridge 

that i must cross 

sprinkle some of that pixie dust 

and just let me fly 

please push me down a big hill

take off both of my training wheels 

and just let me go

i may be a grownup 

but sometimes he gets shown up

by the kid i really am

so please stand beside me 

take my hand and fly with me 

were going away

i almost lost the true part 

of this life that was at the start

we'll never grow old

"please push me down a big hill
take off both of my training wheels
and just let me go"

The simple language is nostalgic, and reminds me of the eager child, waiting to grow up and explore the world around them, but the content itself is jam-packed with such raw-yet-mature emotion and this incredible passion for life. I love that you write for the goodness in life, the little things. Too often I find myself reading downer poetry, and I am always thankful for the breather in uplifting, inspiring poetry. I loved this. Libraryyy(:

Ahh very intresting.Good job.

This is a sweet little poem. It could be a melancholy poem reflecting on a childhood that slipped away, but it comes off a lot more positive than that. I like the use of the speed imagery, such as going down a big hill, and the flying references, because it makes the reader think of how quickly we move out of childhood, and indeed, how quickly we move through life, and how we should savor every moment, as children do. The first line is particularly good.

This poem makes me miss my childhood, the good old days where the most I had to worry about was choosing what lunchable I wanted to bring to school. There is also something beautiful about age thought that I think many people tend to forget. When you get older you get wiser and this obviously brings on a lot of pain, but you also are able to feel many more emotions and feel them very strongly, such as love.
You also have freedom that you don't have as a kid, obviously you're still bound by certain ropes of society, but you're able to be you and paint the life you see resting in your imaginations whereas when you're a kid... all you really have are these dreams but no means to reach them.

a child's dreamland is neverland. I like your comparisons here it makes the world seem so large, "send me to a time where I can get lost". Not all of us lose that child inside. Nice write.

[TBird J.]

neverland was always one of my favorite things to dream about and imagine when i was little. neverland was the one place i want to escape to more than any other place in any other story i had ever read. wonderfully poem about it! i love the concept and i love the style of the writing!

This is so cute. One of my biggest fears is growing old and I think most people will agree with me. I never thought of going off to never neverland. Magical and just lovely.
