Youth

Youth Youth with innocence shining bright Like a dewdrop in the morning light A fragile orb, a shimmering tear Caught in the web of Life's despair

Sheila, I always like to go back to where it all started and see for myself. Another good write. Young people almost always live in the moment and yes despair can become overwhelming. I enjoyed the journey. Keep posting!

Sheila, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
