Yeah, it's a good and cute poem. Now go read some actual poetry instead of obsessing over an old-ass meme

you miss the point, the idea isn't nael the person, it's about imagery
hence "nael, age 6" age 6 being that which defines nael, it is as much about society expectations of a child such that we must point to the fact that at age x person y was able to do z
in other words, given any child of age x can they similarly perform task z with the similar zeal and conviction, can other children of that age measure up to this literary standard set by nael

Some of the other child poets in the collection are good too, like the 'falling leaves' one or the robot haiku. None of them are as good as Nael, though.

Nael is possibly the most inspired voice of the contemporary neo-Romantics. He is like a more minimalist, more savage Blake.

Into my little bag I put the watch
that I bought in Aleppo
I'll keep track of time
until I return to you
Aleppo

I'd upload a better copy had I one, but this is the only one I could find.

The robot haiku (fun, if insubstantial).

Art exists independent of both the artist and the critic, although both aid in its discovery. This is very obviously true when we look in cases like The Tiger.
