my fellow children

During the recent Dodge Poetry Festival, I caught a "Poets on Poetry" session with Sharon Olds. One of my take-aways was when she said:

"I write for my fellow children, however old they are"

I like that.

We should all live as children in that they can (and we should) approach daily life with no fear, there is just a world of amazing things to discover.

Maybe that is why Peter Pan is my hero!
