TODDLERS' JUSTICE

TODDLERS’ JUSTICE

 

Bored, restless, protest cries

Galloping feet, prying eyes

Fidgeting limbs, irrepressible whims

Ranting, panting, jumping, thumping 

Pushing, pleading, hanging, heaving

Swaying, swinging, careless flinging 

Prancing, chanting, wanting something

Sporadically jovial, needing approval

 

Curious ears, boisterous jeers

Robust cheers, tentative leers

Looming fears, sprawling tears

Rumbling belly, mimicking jelly

Moistened cheeks, savouring treats

Fleeting gazes, determined paces

Half formed phrases

Tardy embraces…

Safe.

A very good write on the behaviors of children and the ups and downs they all go through. Well penned and carried...:)

[Bobbie Coelho]

I can see it all!! Good poem

[SHEEMA HUQ]

Oh lovley, thank you Bobbie, it's about the pro's and con's, the tough grind, the rewards and the stamina involved with raising or working with small childre, especially with young families in mind, and the occassional knee jerk behaviours, we can all be prone to, pleased you enjoyed

This is such an adorable write! Although this poem represents a human child's typical behavior, i think parts of it also resembles that of a kitten's. Your verse is full of wonderful axioms. The sudden finish with 'safe' is amusing. Again, i really like your various choice of words that brings out the cuteness in this verse. And, what is ironic is that toddlers say out 'half-formed phrases' while the verse is constructed using these 'half-formed phrases' anyway. Really lovely! =)

wouldn't have missed a minute of it.... well put-together piece. (still remember my first daughter's first word - "is?" accompanied with a sharply-directed finger.)

Clever Sheema. I admire your not standard and unique brain!
Made me smile too

Brought a smile onto my face, the thought of a toddler fresh in my mind. Everything in this poem is very real, and it can most likely bring joy to everyone that has been had a child before!

It has been a while since I have had a toddler, but this is what I recall! Lovely write!!

Laughing at this, knowing that the negatives and positives are all true; the magic and near-almost of being small and discovering that the world isnt any bigger than your neighbourhood but big enought to contain an adventurer! You have such style, your mind works in a wonderful way .. full steam ahead but with great driving skill!
