    Poem Commentary

    It all starts again over and over generation to generation.

    It all starts again

    We came into this world as a babe
    Being  loved we grew
    We explored the world

    School a bright new beginning
    A world full of colors letters
    Teachers with ideas
    An open book to learn by
    A big red paper apple

    The latest new pair of shoes
    A pretty dress new pants
    It's a concert are they watching
    We are in it

    It's high school
    There's a prom
    We had a date flowers
    Our first car
    Plans for our future
    Graduation ascends
    Throwing hats in the air
    We did it

    It 's a big world 
    A college future with plans
    Learning to depend on yourself
    Our first job

    Love blooms only to fall in love
    A ring promises the rest
    Marriage wedding bells ring

    The patter of little feet
    It all starts again

    Growing old leaves the past
    With memories holding vast

    Now I lay me down to sleep
    In hopes my body keeps
    Thinking about the things I've done
    I've got a grandson
     It all starts again

    Bettysrainbow, you speak very well, so succinctly and poignantly of the mystical continuity of life from one generation to another. "It all starts again" . Your homely and concrete imagery is very pleasing, and seems to be nostalgic to most people who see that you speak of the continuity of life as your theme. I admire the conversational style of this poem which is so simple, an infant chjild can enjoy and even comprehend. My rating for excellent treatment of your team is 10x10++

    Simple is a good thing when it comes to poetry.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
