A Little Boy's World Comments

Is your name on this page correct? Curtisj Johnson? ? I want to share this poem with others on PH and give them your 'correct name', but for now they probably should use what is spelled out here. bri :)

2 - rhyming: words ending in -ine and -ind, and crime, sign, & whine. some favorite parts: " emotions in a cave" " daddy’s shaver would become my own" " A dark world with enough hate to blow your mind. But that's a story** of a different kind" ** have you written it? " But it always paid to be aware of what was out there, and fear was not a crime" " somehow we managed just fine" bri ;)

1 - form: prose poem though maybe more prose than poem, you pulled it off i feel. breaking it up into sections, and managing to make me 'feel' some rhymes where you may not have intended to rhyme, and the flow while telling about your life (really yours?) , and some very nice parts (for me) , cause me to send to send to MyPoemList. (cont.)

Another extraordinary poem from you mind's pen, Curtis! Beautiful glances of your relatives, exuding their love into your lines so perfectly. I especially identify with your last lines, explains my childhood exactly also. Thank you so much for these reminders of yesterday, they are heartfelt and emotional. RoseAnn

It is an amazing and wonderful world seen through the eyes of a small boy which consists of the glimpses of father, mother, grandma, friends and a continuous flow of love and a little bit of fear. A quote: There was never much money to spend and none to save, but we didn’t whine, and somehow we managed just fine.
