Cycle of Generations

by Mousie   Dec 22, 2006


Newborn baby
Eyes open wide,
Vulnerable and exposed
Joyous tears they cry.

Takes her first steps
Says her first words,
Reads her first book
Cuts her first curls.

Taller and taller
Faster she runs,
Exploring her world
Adolescent she becomes.

Years later
Through heartbreak and pain,
With all she has done
Success she has gained.

She holds that newborn
Now elderly and wise,
Crying tears of joy
As her eyes open wide.

i have no clue what this was, i was just bored and it seemed interesting... it's basically how life cycles and moves throughout the generations.

    That’s like really awesome honestly! I like how it flows almost so fast, and like I was put into a position like she was holding her own child and then was a grandmother all so fast, and it just circled life in a really twisty way! It was really enjoyabul! awesome job!

    That was a cute poem... i liked the way you sort of repeated the the start in the ending... i do like to suggest taking of the last part where you said "i have no clue what this was..." because it kinda threw me off in the moment... just a suggestion though... i also think that if you had some time, you could extend the poem and make it deeper... either way that was a good poem... 5/5 for me...
