It really does a great job reflecting upon Sendak's work, but even more so, you touch upon that idea regarding children and the openness and acceptance of intuition. An idea that I believe in many cases is something children learn out of, the more they grow, they are taught different ideals and this intuition disappears for some. Anyhow, kind of what popped in my head while reading this. Very nicely done.

Horrifying. Your verses give the impression that some things can be fairy tales but others can't. Knowing how to discern the line between the two is very important, and your poem is an important signpost along the way of knowing that distinction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784125345525784337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5798063279768967876.post-67545689164356084682012-05-13T07:41:37.734-04:002012-05-13T07:41:37.734-04:00Indeed children DO know where the wild things are,...Indeed children DO know where the wild things are, and they aren't in the storybook monsters!
