I really enjoyed this poem very much, it brought memories flooding back to me.....the way I used to read to my children when they were young.
I'm new to this site, I never really considered what I wrote as poetry, but please feel free to read some of my scribblings and give pointers in the right direction.
Regards
Lucie

When I come to booksie to update my work or add a new piece, I always pause at your page. It reminds me to pick up my two year old daughter and read with her. Sometimes I forget she enjoys it as much as I do. Thank you for such beautiful work that Anika can enjoy with me.

I remember when "Tiger tiger" was read and explained to me. All I could see was fire and a silhouette of a tiger within it! That experience opened a whole new world of thinking and expression. It's true, poems read to children will bring positivity in their lives!
Posted: Jul 16, 2008
You must really love children and I truly believe that reading them poems from small ages is very productive...Nice job!
Posted: Jul 19, 2008
You have a lot of comment!!
I'm one of them!
A very nice poem by the way!!

Songs without music
I like that
It's true...and I hope that I'll be able to read poetry to my child someday!
Posted: Sep 9, 2008
hey Ed
I agree with this poems are songs without music,I use to have a book with alot of the old poems like london bridge and ones like that I would sit there and read all the differant versions of each poem to my kids I gave the book to a friend for her kids,"I miss the book now" I gave you a "I like it" vote
cheers
Posted: Sep 18, 2008
I too agree poems are like songs with out music i have telling my friends that use to bug me abouut writeing poetry now they dont bug me no more
Posted: Sep 20, 2008
Great piece! I can really relate to it since my mom always used to read to me before I went to bed. Sometimes I wish I was a little kid again just so she could read to me!
Posted: Sep 30, 2008
lol....very sweet and cute.:) i like it.:)
Posted: Oct 16, 2008
As the parent of a one year old, I found this refreshing! Another great little gem!
Posted: Oct 20, 2008

hmm..good piece
Posted: Nov 21, 2008
so true,poetry is artistic
Posted: Dec 7, 2008
very good. short, to the point, and makes sense. i agree that poems are basically songs without music. that is why i write "songs" a lot. mainly its just lyrics/poems that could easily be turned into songs.
