Poem Commentary

This was the first poem I ever wrote.  It came out of the darkest days of my life.  My final question has been answered.  It reminds me that perception is reality and that I choose how I perceive life and everything in it. 

Heaven

When I was just a little girl,
Under the age eleven,
I thought the world so beautiful,
I thought it must be Heaven.

From twelve until the age eighteen,
As experience came 'round,
I thought the world a testing place,
Will I go up or down?

From nineteen up to twenty-five,
My mind began to wonder,
Is there really Heaven or hell,
Once I'm six feet under?

Now approaching thirty-two,
My thoughts again new ones,
A better place awaits for me,
When life on hell is done!

Looking back across the years,
I see they change each seven,
Will my thoughts return me to,
The place I knew as Heaven?

Very nice poem. I like how it was written with what you felt at different ages, and very interesting tags you put on it for yourself. Keep up the good work,and glad you found the answer to your question in the poem.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
