Comment from Belinda
Hahaha... this is hilarious. Maybe that is how a child thinks: from kisses to kids, flowing and forming a clan! I like the simplicity of the thought and the lines of this quatern...:)

02/07/2014 Hello! This is a great poem because there is rhyme, rhythm, beat, and flow. Capitalization appears to be intentional, but that's okay. Finalizing punctuation is included, very good! I personally always enjoy good ole family poems. Congratulations on your family-based poem! - Respectively, Jason Robert Van Pelt

Thank you for taking the time to review. Since it seems that my poetry is just not your cup of tea, I am going to use a mute. Brooke

From your other poem, Sawyer is following in the footsteps of the generations of kissers.
This quatern has fine rhyming and is a very entertaining piece. Grandpa would be very proud. :) e

Comment from Michael Sundaresan
The line "from their kisses children flowed" is wonderful. Good poetry makes you see things differently. My favorite stanza is the opening stanza because it conveys more what kind of a man grandpapa really was. One possible suggestion would be to list a couple more ways that illustrate how he was a man, but the poem truly needs no revision and stands strong as it is.

Hi...pretty much gives a complete picture of the founder of your clan...there is a lightness to this poem that makes it fun, but not shallow.
And from their kisses children flowed --
my grandpapa was quite a man,
whose kisses formed a legacy,
the family I call my clan.

Comment from Enrique28
A kiss can be a potent force, yes that's right, and absence makes the heart grow fonder...
Generations of love is the strong undercurrent of this fine poem. An example of a man's sacrifice for family. Excellent work! Enrique

What a silly, sweet, lighthearted poem! And what a man Sawyer's great great grandfather was indeed, and I'm sure Sawyer feels all the love passed down!
