Interesting free verse style poem with monorhyme thoughout. What I really liked about it was the story you told is a profound statement about one's eternity living on thought the genetics. For some though, the buck stops with them because they are childless.

The monorhyme begins to thud at my mind after a while, but Ido like that the theme remains constant from beginning to end. Nice job.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Very clever and, I suspect, a potential winner in this contest - certainly the best I've seen so far.
Monorhyme ending cleverly chosen to allow flexibility and the cuteness with which your message is presented guarantees votes.
Good luck and well done.

Excellent monorhyme for the contest. There is so much of truth in the above lines. Whether we want to or not, there is so much of our parents..grandparents in us it is uncanny at times. All the best in the contest.

And you have hit on the truth of what drives the human race to reproduce. I mean, yes there is more to it... But this is the very core. Great work!

I liked this for it's pop and continuous effort. When I first saw this prompt I was thinking a few lines maybe but you have managed to structure an entire verse and still make every line relevant. The tone was honest and human with a touch of hope sprinkled in. Hope for the future and how you can represent. Nice job, I wish you luck on the contest.
