Loved your Double Refrain Kyrielle! In a mother's heart, we treasure all those early days of our kids, the cute and goofy ways of childhood. And your modification at the end is perfect. Because they will always be your kids!

Hello Yvonne.

I'm not familiar with the style of the kyrielle poem but in this case I was taken with the story and the sentiment in the poem. It's written with excellent rhyme and meter.

You captured the emotions of how parents feel about their children no matter how old they all are.

Robert

Yvonne,
I think all mothers with their kids were little again or maybe that they were young again. I wonder if we would make the same mistakes.
This is a well done entry to for the double refrain kyrielle.
Keep writing and stay healthly

This is a delightful poem of reminisces written in a difficult form which you mastered beautifully.
I fondly think of those times when "they were mine" and I was so very important to them.

Well done.
Blessings
Janet

Very well done on this difficult poem. I like the message you have portrayed that our children are always ours, from the time they were born until they die. I cherish the relationship I have with my adult children.

    I do, too. Even though I lost a son in September, I still rejoice in the years I had with him. My youngest son and I often talk over old times. Thank you, Anne.

The double refrain kyrielle is very appealing to me. You have used the style to express the love of mother and sons that thrives through time's natural changes. Exceptional piece

I really loved this Double Refrain Kyrielle. The picture you used was so cute. I totally loved your words, which was of very fond memories as your sons grew. You took them through the steps of their lives. Well done, great job.

A charming form but it seems so complex. i enjoyed reading your poem and reflecting as I did, on my own boys as they were young and all mine.
I know the feeling, Yvonne.

Hi Yvonne, it's a wonderful poem where you look back at the years when you're boys were young an all yours. Then they grew up and you realised that they were still all yours. That's exactly it. They will always be your boys. Ulla:)))
