Very sweet,10+. I didn't see 'dispatched' anywhere, so I guess this poem has already been fixed. Looks like a good change, I definitely liked dispatched up poem.. -chuck

Yes, this evokes nostalgic memories and is extremely well-crafted. I particularly like the first stanza. The second one is strong too. The only tiny thing that hit me kind of funny was the fireflies being dispatched. Is that really the word you want to use? Dispatched? By whom?

I dig the whole poem, but especially the first and final stanzas, and the poem really does capture the innocence of childhood that does feel like forever.

This is a beautiful image of a time in childhood with a pretentious name, 'Forever.' My only suggestion would be to bring up the word 'time' in the second line second stanza to finish the phrase in the first line. I think it would flow when read aloud. Thanks for this beautiful piece. Raynette
