Poems full of the pure voice of childhood!
Necdet Neydim meets children once more with his second poem book after Do You Know How to Whistle? and echoes the chirpy voice, curious eyes, anxious questions, even the fearful looks of childhood in his verses. Sometimes the sadness of growing up and at times the interior voice of old age are found in his poems. Neydim whose poems leave an unforgetable flavor in his child readers with his play on words built on homophony and similarity of meaning speaks through the mouth of children and at the same time lets the child in the adult speak. While expressions almost forgotten are revived in some poems that build a pleasant bridge between children and adults, references to the well known verses of some poet create surprises in others.
