The jux. of &qu...A fresh take on father-son haiku.<br /><br />The jux. of "crayon map" (real and cartographic) and Neverland (imaginative and literary) is thematically and emotionally effective.<br /><br />And structurally speaking, L2 is well placed, confirming that "the child is the father<br />of the man."<br /><br />Note:<br /><br />"Neverland (also spelled Never Land or expanded as Never Never Land) featured in the works of J. M. Barrie and those based on them. It is the dwelling place of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys and others. Although not all people in Neverland cease to age, its best known resident famously refused to grow up, and it is often used as a metaphor for eternal childhood (and childishness), immortality, and escapism. It was first introduced as "the Never Never Land" in the theatre play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up by Scottish writer J. M. Barrie, first staged in 1904."<br /><br /><br />Chen-ou Liu, 劉鎮歐https://www.blogger.com/profile/06235248170011255532noreply@blogger.com
