I think they're probably born surreal and, to fit into the "real" world, have to dumb down their delight.

Because they have still got the magic in them that we lose as we grow and become cynical. Both of these were such a delight to read.

Brilliant. I was there, present in childhood--you were, too, and your son. The surreal to me is exactly that reality before explanation as seen through un-tainted eyes. Some of it is packed in my mother's boxes, I have seen it. Less in mine, childless, but I have students' poems and portfolios--just a few to remind me of one version of me. How lucky your son to have such a mother, and vv.

I am way impressed with your son's poem - he has a wonderful voice. I, too, hope he organizes and archives all of his work. One day he will be so glad he did.
