A melancholy veil transpires in all its length through the three rooms described in rhymed verses. It almost seems like a shift in time changed in the second room with the moon revolving around Mars and the only two places to be borne by man's debts all dealt with without the pain of chains.

From birth to death is a journey we are familiar with, although the death part is still the mystery while we await the dire day. The trip may have its ups and downs but usually its a cherished time.

I really enjoyed this poem. It was written beautifully and the stanzas split into three, representing the different stages of life were beautiful. I wish you the best of luck with this great entry.

You did a good job writing a beautiful poem in a rather complicated poetic structure. It's an interesting commentary on how we pass through life and communicates the feeling that we are just, as you say, "molded clay" rather than the complex human form we think about ourselves.
Great job!

There's some great musical elements to this poem, I could hear that rocking of the crib, feel the revolution of the stars, and hear the rattling of those chains in the rhythm and the ringing rhymes of this poem. The tight meter and short lines also helped enhance that spinning effect. I liked the images, especially the stars, the alignment of the moon and Mars, creating a sense of fate, of mysterious forces at work under the surface of things on our planet. estory

For minute poetry, this is very well constructed! It takes the reader through the entire cycle of the human experience. Great job, I enjoyed reading it.

A very good entry. It has a lot of emotion and seriousness. Good use of words to portray a life course. The mood is complimented by your picture. Well done.
