A Photo of Hella at Age Three

Oh, the innocence of the very young,
who don’t even know
what innocence is!

[miyako73]

LOL! Brilliant. Three lines, but enough to tell me the deceiving nature of innocence (among youth and teens) or the beautiful imagery of it (among babies and kids).

And which is part of their appeal, I think. Sweetly done, Prince.

between the title and the exclamation is a jump, but i don't know, in such a small space, how to overcome this gap. okay, one quick suggestion is 'Look!' but idk.
wonderful lines, that i've often thought to myself.

Prince you've said so much in these three lines that I should say the obvious-

"What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed"

Superb!

One doesn't need a word to express a state of being until one has felt its polar opposite. It's a nice poem that expresses that idea. Technically, I feel the opening "Oh" and concluding "!" is a bit too much. I would suggest one or the other, or maybe neither. It seems like it dictates the sense more than is needed.
