Hi there,
So I liked the beginning of this, it was like we were following the speaker's train of thought and an instant connection was made with the speaker in that sense.
I also liked the way you described this fountain like it was a living, breathing thing. It was a refreshing change.
The only thing I would say, is that it felt sort of unfinished. It's got some great potential and you should utilise it. You should consider talking about the water, and the way it flows and moves around the centrepiece. Maybe even bring in a character at the end, and it's revealed that it's all from a little girl's point of view and it's the way she sees the world. I'm not sure, just an idea. But, it does have a lot of potential and it's really well executed.
I liked this here:
'Jumping and gliding and leaping'
You've not really used any punctuation, because it's a wild train of thought that follows the speaker's direct thinking. When we think, we don't tend to think in punctuation, unless we're planning something. Obviously, like you've demonstrated at the beginning, this poem isn't a planned piece of work. So naturally, it's going to reflect some sort of thought process.
It seems the more I read this poem, the better I like it.
Well done and keep writing, I really liked this!
