I have learnt a few things: I can't spell, my grammar is bad, I don't understand criptic poems, nobody other than me writes poems aimed at 3 year olds, I write better poems during the day than I do after half a bottle of pinot grigio and a bar of fairtrade coop white chocolate at midnight!
Oh and there are some very lovely people on this site and a couple of weirdies!  x |

I sometimes forget there is no age limit to this site. BBC Getwriting used to be 16+; Auntie Beeb had a different site especially for teens and more than once kids were chased away when it became obvious a certain 19-year-old was in fact the so maniest incarnation of a 13-year-old who did not want to wait.
You're absolutely right though: Kids have the best common sense. Logic I wouldn't call it, as logic is a thing constructed by adults, but they often do have a lot more common sense than grown-ups. Besides, kids know what life's realy about, for they are not bothered by all the confusing artificial things such as politics, religion, status, money etc...

Well punchy, this child gets it! Yes, funny - and with good sense. Especially line 12.

Why children?

| It's not the words Punchy. We understand them, and children love to learn new words (especially big ones) - it's the throwing together of various words in a way that shows that there has been no thought put into them. Rather like throwing words into a witch's cauldron. My little granddaughter is like me - we both love words and the sounds of words, and she likes the big ones - eg: chocoholic is the latest. That's not the problem for either her or me. It's the lack of thought that goes into stringing them together in a logical way. End of subject! ha ha. The message must have gone home by now. |

I am in total disagreement with the sentiments expressed in this verse.

| I like it! I think children think in a way that adults don't. Children see the world from an extremely diverse point of view, which you have conveyed. Good sense of humour to! |
mind you

Josie has a good point - if you really are talking about children (and I suspect you aren't, given the sequence of pieces that is on the site here) Josie has made an excellent point:
children love to learn new words (especially big ones)
I've nothing against big words or mental challenges per se, but agree with Josie that poetry is no excuse for: the throwing together of various words in a way shows that there has been no thought put into them. I'd add that a lot of the poetry section's output shows that there is a lot of experience and skill still to be gained. You, incidentally, are gaining it so please don't think that last remark is aimed at you You have not, as some do, come onto the site, announced that you have just started writing poetry in the past week, and expected everyone to fall down in awe at your skill; rather the reverse, for which you are to be commended.
