When -
like the stars in a constellation -
you're able to connect the dots...
and suddenly,
everything makes beautiful sense. 🤍

Author's Note: I admit that I'm kind of cheating (again) for my post today.
This Poetic Moment was taken from my TikTok account and created by me awhile ago. I have many, many more Poetic Moments on my platform there that I plan to start posting to Vocal (TikTok is probably getting banned...😅...so I need to start backing up my material there, anyway!).
I don't consider these Poetic Moments to be poems. They are meant to be tiny, inspirational instances which have been captured in a jar and set on display to ponder. ☺️ That said, they are indeed "poetic" and I'm allowing them to count for my challenge! (My challenge, my rules! 🤗)

This is Poem #5 of my personal "Poem-a-Day" challenge. ☺️ Can I keep it up? We shall see. 🫣

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

Love the words and the images...
Ooo absolutely loving this poem!
love writing that makes me exhale and grin just a little wider... like this one
Oooo, that was so deep and so true! But to me, that's a poem hehehe. I loved it so much! About TikTok banned, is it really true? Is it a worldwide ban or certain countries?
You doing a great job 😁 keep them poems or even just poetic moments coming 👍🏾
The moment sticks.
Yeah, I've had several of those kind of moments before. However, I also have to discern whether or not those dots are actually related to each other or just some form of confirmation bias.
I like these! This is often how my poems start. Just a tiny poetic thought that can maybe be expanded upon. Maybe not. Great job, Gina!
