According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, An Inner Child Is “the childlike usually hidden part of a person’s personality that is characterized by playfulness, spontaneity, and creativity usually accompanied by anger, hurt, and fear attributable to childhood experiences.”

The Saturday Symphony #29 Inner Child #JuneEdition

PONDEROUS THOUGHT Prompt

This month indulge your inner child. Be goofy, be fun, be whiny. Rhyme, share or compose a favourite bedtime story, tongue twister, song. Tell tales of pets, old toys and forgotten delights. Just be playful and have fun. – Jude

You can use art, any form of writing or media.

  3. I didn’t see the movie Patch Adams but did some research. That’s a wonderful gesture that he and his volunteers bring humor to those in need. A good example of using one’s inner child to help others. Thank you for your comment.

  10. Children want to be grown ups, I know I did. Then when the day comes and you realize you are a grown up it’s quite a disappointment. At least it was for me.

  12. Every time I create something I thank my ‘Inner child!’
    I had fun with Jude’s prompt smashing it with Sadje’s 😀

  14. I am somewhat lucky, l guess,
    … to have an inner mischevious playfulness,
    My inner child,
    Always somewhat wild,
    Is always keen to land me in a mess!
    Of course, not everyone is best pleased,
    .. when the inner me is squeezed,
    Alas, what can one say,
    Ooooh l know, all sneaky’s aside,
    To Eugenia, Happy Birthday!
    I bet you thought l was going to let it slide,
    But no! Of course not. What do you take me for?
    … a bah humbug imp?
    A frightful ageist bore?
    No, never not l, never one to skimp,
    On a bit of a joke,
    ….. a teasing and playful leg pull,
    I am not that kind of bloke,
    So here l say again,
    Happy Birthday, Little Being Eugi,
    Have you had cake and champagne?
    … to celebrate turning thirty 🙂

    1. A truly delightful poem, Rory! Thank you for letting my Little Being be at least thirty! lol Sometimes, I think my inner child is more like a giggly teenager. No cake and champagne, however, treating myself to chocolate and red wine.
