Ever drifting down the stream- Lingering in the golden gleam- Life, what is it but a dream?”

“All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, ‘Oh, why can’t you remain like this for ever!’ This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.”

Hi Monisa- Moonlight Sonata... super! Must admit I haven't done much poetry (nothing since the ones in the book- sorry). The poems were a handful of strange ideas that worked themselves in at the end- just to give additional information for the characters. Thanks for asking. Have a great day!
How are you doing? Long time ,no see...:)How are things on Poetry working on you? I came to know that you like "Moonlight Sonata"....I like it too!
Happy Day!
Hullo William!I would just like to say how EXCITED I am for Peter to come out! I will go to Chapters ( my bookstore ) and be the first one to buy it!
