Some Days...It's Good To Be A Kid! ! Comments

The spin doctors who want to sell spiritual 'products' often use the term 'inner child'. What a pity! Because the inner child is someone we should all get to know and enjoy, just the way you have in this gorgeous poem that is so simply written and so captivating at the same time. I guess it's because it tells the reader so much about you, Dee, as well as your little beasties. Love it. Allie xxxxxxxxxx

(sorry, I meant 'read' not 'reach'. Fran x)

I love the idea of seeing things through a child's eyes. This poem is refreshingly alive, just like your little clams. And next time I'm down at the seaside I will do the same. Incidentally, I did look at some of the creatures a little boy had found there just a couple of weeks ago. I was astonished at the starfish with twelve arms and the orange jellyfish! Children can always teach us a thing or two, can't they? Lovely poem, Dee, and it's nice to reach your work again. Love, Fran xxx

So glad you got some shore leave! Thanks for the pearls of wisdom, with no oysters sacrificed. -chuck

Ah Dee I knew you were going to have some great stories to tell...it's great to get right down there and 'sea' life....love your poem! Hugs, Diane

Great poem Dee. I always liked watching the tiny creatures of nature... the one that most never see. Yes, it is nice to remain a kid and enjoy these simple pleasures. Zen

Dee, Did you get the sand out of your under -ware yet? How 'bout from your shoes? I hope that you never will! Each grain is a reminder of just how low you will go, to find and enjoy the beauty and the truth of youth. B.V.A.

Dee, that's beautiful. I can really relate to every part of this piece. You took me to a place that I'd not seen for ages even though I love beaches myself. Excellent. Ez X

Sometimes... TRY ALL THE TIME! ! ! I'm the only one of me and my friends who still builds sand castles for crabs! That's what I love about this poem, it's youthfulness. Keep writin: -) Best wishes. Rissa.

I enjoyed this one sweetheart, fully. Yes, it's always good to retain that element of childishness.... though some of us are way too clumsy to do it in such a physical way.. :) t x
