Children


To comlain and abstain

To play in the rain

A mild thought is mild

That one of a child

Failing to understand

Failure to comprehend

Oh the misery

Tone: serious</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-28201c22-7fff-a093-74e3-27bf71641c72"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Language &amp; Lit. Devices: You weren&#39;t playing with the ryhtmes, they make your poem really fun to read. I&#39;d switch Failure to Failing you avoid stumbling when reading it out loud.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-28201c22-7fff-a093-74e3-27bf71641c72"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Structure &amp; Layout: I enjoy the line &quot;To Play in the rain&quot; though it feels out of place since it&#39;s it&#39;s inbetween two lines like &quot;To contain and Abstain&quot; and &quot;A mild thought is mild&quot;. Maybe try switching where it&#39;s placed! Amazing poem!</span></span></p><div>&nbsp;</div>
