“Unveiling the Heart: The Enigmatic Journey of ‘Sam’ in Roy Pullam’s Captivating New Poem”
In a world buzzing with the noise of deadlines and responsibilities, it seems we often forget the pure, unfiltered curiosity we once had as children. Remember that wide-eyed wonder, the endless “why’s” that poured out like a river of imagination? What if I told you that tapping into that childlike curiosity could unlock doors to new realms of knowledge and creativity? This poem does just that—embracing the innocence of inquisitiveness represented by a joyful child. It challenges us to reflect on how formal education sometimes stifles that very curiosity it should encourage. So, take a moment to breathe in the beauty of open-ended questions—the kind that ignite our minds and invigorate our spirits. Seeking answers alongside an inquisitive soul may just help us rediscover a wonderful world, still expanding, waiting for us to explore it. Ready to dive in?LEARN MORE.
Three fingers; three candles
Her broad smile
The justification of the big day
Her questions universal
Her thirst for information
A credit
To any philosopher
The nature of death
The origin of flowers
An endless barrage
Of unanswerable queries
Questions formal education
Discourages
With the corset-tight standards
With the rigors
Of what to learn
And when to learn it
Stifling that curiosity
Thoughts and reasoning
Dormant
Until age and wisdom
Reaffirms that childhood fancy
No longer
Worrying about utility
Free thinking
A galaxy of learning
In that short time
Before age
Sweeps it all away
Do not quiet that child
Seek with her answers
Accept your own ignorance
And welcome that common journey
For hers
Is a world still expanding
A wonderful world
You can share
