Time is especially precious in the hands of a child........yes dear poetess. It's true.
A work of an intricate mind, Susan. Thanks for your wonderful contributions to Poemhunter family. Merry Christmas.
Robert~~~~Wow! ! ! Thank you for commenting on the images I used- I tried for memorable ones
Reminds me of a song....Those Magic Moments. As soon as you notice they are happening, there arrives a twinge of sadness....You suddenly realize it will not last. Magnificent verse, Susan. A perfect 10! !
Oh! That was a very encouraging comment, my friend! And so beautifully and poetically commented! Thank you for the 10- I think we should give out 10's for bestest comments ever! !
One of the best poems I have ever read on father and daughter and vice versa. A beautiful bond between father and daughter has been vividly painted on the canvas of this beautiful poem. Deeply touching and moving. How amazing to read words that could transport a reader right to the scene of a loving father and daughter . Onto my Poem List.
Thank you for reading and getting such obvious joy from reading it! ! ! That is the reward we all look forward to receiving when we post a poem! Thank you for that and for putting on your fav list
'mischief gamboling around her like a puppy' What a suggestive image......! You have compressed all that you wanted to attribute about the agility, charm and playfulness of the little child in this single line which everyone can easily relate! Lovely little poem! 10 on 10
Thank you so much for the very informative comment. We learn so much when readers give such explicit feedback! I give you a 10+++++++++++++++++ for Valued Reader of the Day! ! !
All this poem is beautiful, loveable, irresistible and attractive just as the topic of the poem.. But this poem becomes more beautiful because of providing the reader with, i think, some endless thoughts to ponder on... These lines are also precious.. Time is especially precious in the hands of a child. Nice poem Susan
Thank you! ! ! You seem to have a lot of enthusiasm for this poem and I really appreciate enthusiasm! ! ! ! !
2 – Line 8: " ..and he gave.." i'd stick with the same verb tense as is in rest of poem, " gives" , NOT that i'm an English expert! As for the story/message of the poem, i LIKE it. Daddy better be prepared for her teen years when others may vie for her attention! To MyPoemList. Bri :)
1 – " moonspun" stumps me. " she might as well been candlelight.." i'd tweak this, maybe using: " might as well have been..." or " might well have been.." OR " might have been.." i THINK you forgot a word. ;)
Father and daughter! ! Muse of love and life. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
What fabulous comparisons, what a beautiful poem, and all that in but a few lines! Wonderful
I; m working in brevity! ! ! ! ! Thank you for commenting on that! ! !
Wo your poem about a child is so creatively awesome and adorable! I like to use the words confetti, moonspun so I enjoyed how you used it more poetically. Kudos! Nice to read from you again, take care! Pls pleez do comment/ write your thoughts under my newest poem too titled, ' smart phones and smart cars...."
I'm tickled this poem's word choice tickled you! ! ! I had absolute fun trying to find words that caught the essence of Daddy's little girl! ! !
An insightful expression on childhood is made hauntingly.The inscription of little girl is so fantastic. Her appearance as a butterfly, her joy dancing around her like confetti, mischief gamboling are touchingly delineated here. I appreciate this lovely poem. Thank you dear Susan madam for sharing this gem.10
Thank you- -those words just poured out while I thought of my girls when they were children so happy and carefree. I am glad you enjoyed it, my friend!
Sandra, your comments always light up the heart and encourages the soul, thank you for being my friend.
Unnikrishnan, Hey, my friend! ! ! ! Thank you for reading and saying nice things about this one! ! I'm kind of fond of that confetti line myself! ! !
I loved it sooooooo much. As if I swam back to my childhood days crossing eternal warp of time. I should thank you for sharing this overwhelming experience.
Tom, you keep me going, my friend! ! ! ! I've been absent without official leave for some time now but it felt like a homecoming to see a message from you on my latest effort! Tom. I give you a million stars just for being you!
You have painted a lovely delicate picture of what childhood souls be. Excellent images.
