A Grandchild Comments

Beautiful and interesting. (His soul is in his lovely grandchild, What a grandchild is this!) What a lovely 'grandchild' indeed!

Beautiful poem. The joy of being a grandparent is coming of life full circle. Truly their soul resides in the grand child. Read it at Bri's wall and loved it. Thanks for sharing.

I love the full circle you have made with this, fabulous.

“I see the youth with his old girl friend, Desirous to taste the fruit, But her decisive refrain, What a refrain is this! ” …. poor guy! but “refrain” is a verb. how about the noun: “refrainment” (in two places) ? or use poetic license and use refrain. I wasn’t sure myself if refrain could be used as a noun, but I think not (properly) . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - refrainment noun Synonyms and Antonyms of REFRAINMENT the checking of one's true feelings and impulses when dealing with others [students in the class should show some generosity and refrainment when critiquing the work of their fellow photographers] Synonyms continence, discipline, discretion, inhibition, refrainment, repression, reserve, restraint, self-command, self-control, self-restraint, suppression Related Words command, control, mastery, possession; self-censorship, self-containment, self-denial, self-discipline, self-government, self-mastery, will, willpower; composure, self-poise, self-possession; aloofness, detachedness, distance; bashfulness, modesty, shyness; reticence, silence, taciturnity Near Antonyms self-abandonment, uninhibitedness; unrestrainedness; gratification, indulgence, overindulgence, self-indulgence; bluntness, candor, frankness; immoderacy, intemperance Antonyms disinhibition, incontinence, unconstraint - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I am really liking the poem so far, and wonder how it shall end! “A lovely woman with all her charms, Relieving the father of his pains, And hard working for the child, What a child is this! ” …………………………….. IS THE “WOMAN” THE “FATHER’S” MOTHER? THE “FATHER” IS HER “CHILD”? this wasn’t very clear to me. the ending was a true surprise and (though I don’t believe it) I liked it. What a POEM is THIS! Very entertaining. I’ll send to MyPoemList and put it in the August showcase. thanks. bri :)

Playing hide and seek! But nature has its own rules. Nice work.
