I wish I were a child again... by *Devil-Man13:iconDevil-Man13:



I wish I were a child again
With eyes so blue and wide
To play again, to laugh again
At stupid things like butterflies

I wish I were a child again
With dreams and stories of grandeur
To wish again, to imagine again
At silly things like dinosaurs

I wish I were a child again
With energy and curiosity abound
To run again, to look again
At boring things like rocks 'round

I wish I were a child again
With hope and happiness unbound
To love again, to hug again
At ridiculous things like family

I wish I were younger again
With eyes so green and dull
To work again, to groan again
At stupid things like children

Thank you very much. I hated poetry in school and I still hate it. But once in a blue moon I'll be in a poet mood. But factor in my laziness and your looking at once in a blue moon at daylight, haha.

But seriously, thank you very much on liking this. I actually thought hard about this one and even then I didn't like it too much. But knowing that someone else likes it is awesome beyond words. Thanks. :)

Hey, thanks. I did this on a whim and I doubt I'll make any more, haha. I didn't like poetry in school and I never liked writing it or writing anything for that matter. I have this problem of putting words down on paper/computer, I have all the ideas in my head but translating them back into writing/typing is a major problem for me.

I'm quite terrible at poetry >_>...I'm [i]extremely[/i] morbid. You don't like writing? Writing for school can be annoying (I personally liked it)

I find that's it's a efficient way to express ones thoughts.

I do know what you mean, I think in images (basically, that is fundamentally, I believe, what thinking is) so relating it into thoughts can be difficult.

Same here, haha. I have all these cool stories/day dreams (Well, in my opinion anyways. xD) but I can't put them down. It's like my brain is Shakespeare or Homer (The Greek one, haha.) but my hand is like...Homer (The current one. xD) For example

My thoughts/images:

`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -
`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

My hand:

I yelled at a black bird to get the Hell outta my room and the raven talked back saying "Nevermore." Which scared the shit out of me.

Pretty much this. I see all these authors at ff.net and I get envious as Hell. But even if I did get magical writing powers I probably wouldn't write/type much anyways. I'm very lazy, haha.

I can tell you all 'bout being lazy, I reinvented the term.:D
Mostly my writing is mystery and usually it's based off some nightmare or daydream I experienced.
You're pretty amazing with Shakespeare, I'm horrid. I only pass my tests because I'm good at instant memorization.
I've also seen authors at ff.net and I have no idea how they keep at it! And their writing level is also very professional (some of them). The most I've ever written is 80-100 pages a couple years back.
I used to wish as a kid that my nightmares and dreams would automatically transmit itself onto a piece of paper so I could analyze it xD

I only passed my tests in school because for some reason I remembered mostly everything on tests & quizes without having to study, haha. Lucky on that I suppose. And yes, there are some EXTRAORDINARY writers on ff.net, very capable of writing a best seller or 2. The most I've ever written on ff was...I think 6 pages? You kick my ass page wise. xD

I don't really wish that my dreams/nightmares would come to life on paper. Every single one I've had are weirder than Hell. Like a messed up LSD trip. Not trippy per say, more like WTF? and BBQ. For example at least...10 years(?) ago I had a dream where I was in a labyrinth/maze and one of my allies was this rat warrior as big as me with gladiator regalia. And I think I fought cheese or something. It was weird as shit, haha.
