Hi Poetic Indulgences !

I found your poem on the Read a Newbie page and I'm happy to send you a review.

All of the wonderful imagery brings back happy memories of my childhood. I loved frogs and I remember being somewhere like a Renaissance Fair and the hillside was slightly muddy and FULL of frogs! I was catching them and playing with them. I wasn't too fond of worms but for my 3rd birthday, I wanted a snake! I was definitely tough as nails as a little girl. I identify with this a lot and the hectic transitions from thought to thought accurately depict how children have the attention span of a fly! There's just too much to see, explore and discover. Definitely the good ole days!

SUGGESTIONS:

Since you used punctuation here, I wouldn't capitalize the first word of every line, to keep it uniform with the style. No punctuation and all caps for every line, or punctuation rules throughout.

FAVORITE LINES:

"Scraped knees and tough as nails,
Puppies wagging happy tails"

I loved that visual. The puppies can be a metaphor for children themselves, young and cute and happy. Love it.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:

This was a fantastic read and exactly what I needed to lift my spirits at the moment! I'm so happy I stumbled upon your poem and I'm glad you've joined this wonderful community. I look forward to seeing more writings from you.

Thanks for sharing your talent with us, and keep writing!
