Reflection of
wonderings
Of a little heart
Coloured in
imaginations
Attentive! Cupped
fingers
Seek answers to
ponderings
In comparison-
Feet tinkling with
anklets under
Holding balance
While boxes are piled
up
Labelled values and
vices within
In the transit to a
final form
Akin legs now standing behind
Tall in the mirror
and otherwise too
Profound thoughts...
Beyond the radius of the tender age.

Came in late but hope have fallen in place!
smiles...fun to think what the child may be thinking there in front of the mirror...they see the world so differently than us...and they are def not afraid to ask questions...
ReplyDeleteGrowing up .. everything it entails .. 'beyond the radius of the tender age' .. you captured it well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You took me right there! And the way the imagination works--tall, tall!
ReplyDeleteI love those cupped fingers.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. Lovely moment captured here.
ReplyDeleteKnow what? Try and catch the time when she will be learning to whistle and see her study her progress in the mirror just like this :-)
I love the tenderness, the cupped fingers, the thoughts that swirl!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem

..,beyond the radius of the tender age Nice ending
ReplyDeleteDear Akila -
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, the post above tells me you have been hacked or have malware. You may need to resort to the stupid robot window...
Anyway, I loved the tinkly anklets on this! Mirrors always fascinated me as a child, I think all children want to know not only what they look like, but what their gestures seem to say, etc. I really loved this.
Now check your spam guard and spyware!! Love, Amy
Cute, but while this has a location, location doesn't seem central to the poem, which was the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI took the mirror and worked around it. Oops! perhaps, did not fit in!
DeleteYou have captured the musings of a little one so well...beautifully done.
