When the mind was once a boy. by Robert Harrison Sunday, March 02, 2008 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan There are no capital letters apart from the one starting the verse. No punctuation, it is to be read as the reader sees fit.
How green The Weeping Willow whose tresses caress the gentle brooks flow how yellow the King Cup bright as new churned butter ‘neath the Willows weeping bough How swift the King Fisher dropping like a stone having spied a little fish thus returning to the Willow flicks back its bluish head quaffs down its swift caught dish How gurgles the gentle brook between its grassy banks girded by trodden path how merry the little children skipping in joyous play their voices a merry laugh How beautiful the Sky Lark wings towards the sky singing his joyful notes to join the happy children some to fish with net and jar others to sail their paper boats A gentle scene a happy scene when all was peace and joy seen now in minds old age when once it was a boy

Your words flow as naturally as the feelings behind them - nothing feels strained or contrived. Excellent.
