All things possible to a child
Defeating dragons, they fly where no one dies
Live in dreams dancing wild and mild
There are no lies in their smiling eyes
Drinking joy in drunken sips
Bottled sunbeams excited foam released
Where lies become truth that drips from tiny lips
Ugliness deceased where innocence killed the beast

Thank you John I as always appreciate your read and kind words of support.
A truely delightful little verse, petite in its innocence, as if written by a child, so convincing its wholeheartedness. Just lovely.
All the best,
Tony.
Thank you Tony your words of encouragement mean a great deal. Little children have saved my life and I will always be thankful for that
Your poem masterfully explores the timeless themes of innocence, imagination, and the transformative journey from childhood to adulthood. It beautifully captures the essence of dreaming, the unbridled joy of childhood experiences, and the poignant loss of innocence that accompanies growth. Your poem serves as a poignant reminder of the breathtaking beauty and magic of childhood, juxtaposed with the inevitable loss of innocence that comes with aging, inspiring us to cherish imagination and joy in our lives.For some reason, life seems so beautiful and effortless as a child, and it's amazing how that innocence can inspire us as adults to appreciate life's simple joys. I cherish the memories of my childhood.
Thanks so much for the review and read your interpretation is most appreciated.
Good write SB.
Thanks Orchi for the read.
Wow, coming from your deep understanding of the mind I think this is wonderfully powerful, although we could argue this, I doubt any baby in a pram would smile at Trump, just to say LoL 🤣
Thanks Teddy Infants know no evil and have to be taught, but I'm sure that they would learn quickly. Thanks for the read and kind words of support my friend
Innocence is the answer! Such a nice reflection on innocence and the power of it. We need to stop forgetting our childlike nature in the complexities of life.
Thank you so much for your review of this poem it means a lot
What a beautiful and imaginative piece!!!! Well done!!
Thank you Salvia for your read and most kind words of encouragement they are very important to me
Loved this. Brought me back to those innocent days and pondering exactly when they flew away with, instead of fighting, another dragon. Well done, my friend! From the heavens, Draco shines down. Well done. A fave. 🌹👏

Take me back to my childhood. This is a great piece.
I thank you humbly for your read and words of support and encouragement
I love the line : "Defeating dragons, they fly where no one dies."
It, to me, signifies strongly that state of nostalgia or memory that never dies. It's with us forever. Like captured in time, almost. I'm not finding the right words to explain what I mean, sorry 😂
Beautifully written, thanks for sharing your talent with the world!
You are very kind and I thank you so much for your read and kind words they are most important to me.
truer words were never spoken. the innocence of kids is a wonder to behold, and shines out from their fresh and beautiful faces, until the world starts polluting their impressionable minds
Thank you so much Nafisa for your read and comment of support they are most appreciated and highly esteemed
you are welcome - always enjoy reading your poems - keep them coming
It's funny how knowledge of the world kills the magic of it. Sometimes I wish I could be as mystified by things as an adult as I was when I was a child.
Thank you so much for your read of this poem and for your comment that I can feel. I too wish for that same magic that rests in a child's eyes. Your response is most appreciated and valued
I still believe in dragons! Great poem!
Thank you so much I have some miniature ones that live here as monitor lizards. I appreciate your read and comment
