Ciao mystery poet, you have 5 votes now!

I love the 4 gals and I love it was taken in a field of giant sun flowers.

A beautiful memory photo!

    Oh, thank you! You are wonderful. I appreciate the lovely words you wrote - and definitely also the vote. Sunflowers are my daughter's favourite flower. Big, cheerful, beautiful, and their structure is quite complex. Love how they follow the sun too.
    Many thanks.

This 5-7-5, Four Generations, has the right set up and gives instructions on how to keep family tight and close for as long as possible. ............................................

The Speaker asks a great question: Why can't all people live in harmony like this family of four generations? I think LOVE is the major factor bonding this family together. If only there was more brotherly love elsewhere. I like your use of rhyme.

    Thank you very much Rod for your thoughtful review, and you are right. True love looks after the needs of others, and if each one is doing that, the results can be amazing.

A nice sentiment, and a nice picture of the four generations of women. It is pleasant to see a full set of line-end rhymes, and such imaginative ones. Aurally identical, but a good visual distinction.

Four generations are definitely something to brag about. Love the image and your words. The picture brings out the family happiness, living in harmony solves a lot of quarrels.

You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this lovely piece that poses an age-old probing question. Chaos and division aren't only in societies; it's in some families! WHY?

This work has reached the exceptional level

I love how this poem ends with the open ended question. If read one way, it is a straight forward question asking what are the troubles faced when so many generations of a family live together, and if read in a slightly more accusing tone it can be read as though one or more persons are at fault for causing tension. This is a great thought provoking poem.

    Thank you very much Victoria! A great review, and I certainly appreciate the honour of six stars. I also liked your thoughtful interpretation, which I hadn't actually thought of. My thinking was simply that if they can do it why do the rest of us find it so hard, but it could well be interpreted as you have said. So thank you! I like it when there is more than one meaning.

Great poem for the prompt. I love the picture. YOu're right, four generations living in unity is a mighty example of people being able to get along. Well done.

    Thank you very much. Great review, and yes - if they can, why can't the rest of us put more thought into how to make life work well for the blessing of all?
