i've got
lots of
colors
to glue
tightly
using
sticky
hands
of my
young,
'white,'
clearish
mind
but,
when i
only have
480 legos,
i'm forced
to think
carefully
where the
reds and
yellows
would match
and, so,
that same
principle
goes with
the soft
action
i
have
in my
building
of a
child's room

Appreciated.
Thank you for the Honorable Mention, and I had meant to make it more understandable before you closed it, but would you like to read my few new edits? Those points are helpful to me because I have an even twelve trophies and 10 HM's now! Green always looks good on my profile page.

if you are really only ten, then I am even more impressed by this poem. the simplicity of the words contrasts perfectly with the depth of your idea.

for some reason I love these lines. the idea of gluing colors together sounds like a rainbow. and children really are a combination of all things bright meshed into one.
the only thing I might change would be the fourth-to-last line: I would take out the "my" so that the end just reads
in
building
a
child's room
because I got a bit confused with the "my."
Great job! =]

Good Luck
Thank you for your thin poem. I'm not exactly sure of the meaning......but I really like reading it. I know a poem about thin poems by Tony Mitton
