Pure and Young

A Poem by Emily Dickinson Jr.
"

A poem about the joy and innocence of youth PLZ READ

"

They look so young, so pure

Did I once look so white?

They don't know nor care now

The world outside the swings

In their eyes are mirrors

I can hear the angels sing

To be yet young again

To spread soft arms and fly

Envy I won't deny

One very very picky thing. To match the rhythm of the second to last line, try making it "envy that I won't deny". Otherwise, I love this!!! I love how you use white to personify the purity of youth. Great work! I love it!
