 * __The Big Wrap Up__**

The three poems I have chosed are connected to childhood; But they all view a different aspect and emotion about childhood. "Where The Sidewalk Ends" is a relatively upbeat and calming poem, explaining as adults we do not have the same amount of freedom to relax as we did when we were children. While "Childhood" discusses the loss of memories from our childhood as we grow older. The tone of the poem is very sad and nostalgic, quite the opposite of the last poem. "Two Temples" discusses a different aspect of children. This poem is not directly about childhood, but about the inner soul of the child, symbolized by a temple. The poem that had the most effect on me was "Childhood" because out of the other two, this poem made me think about my childhood the most. When I think of poetry, I think the best poems are the ones where the words stay in the back of your mind and this poem did exactly that. This poem made me look back on the forgotten memories of my childhood, such as time with friends or vacations and trips with my family. Those are the little moments in life, that one should never forget.
