   Janis, I loved the comparison of a child learning to ride a bike the first time without trainer wheels as a new beginning. Great poem.

   Wonderful Janis. A bicycle is the first vehicle any child learns, and it is often a ride full of struggle, disappointments and, of course, some sweet little victories to be cherished. You have beautifully captured that first beginning for a child through your words. This a great response to Brenda's prompt.
   
   Thanks, John, for sharing Janis's work.

   Janis
   In your poem, Poetic New Beginnings
   "Begin Again" you capture that moment when a child learns to ride a bicycle.
   
   Amazingly, if he falls...he gets up and tries again.
   
   I suppose this is truly a stepping stone to what we face in life.
   
   Your first thought was a great one.
   
   We learn at a young age to keep trying until we succeed.
   
   The video you shared is very inspirational.
   
   Great write. 
   
   I posted a link in the Word Prompt article.

   Hello Janis!
   A thoughtful response to the word prompt, Beginning!
   I agree with you, that to learn cycling by a child, and managing to do so independently, is perhaps the beginning of a successful life ahead!
   Well expressed and well thought of poem-- Nice response to the word prompt!
   Thank you for sharing!
   Thank you John for sharing this in the forum!

   What a terrific response to Brenda's prompt of "beginnings."  Learning how to ride a bike is certainly a major accomplishment in life.  Comparing it to life in general with its wins and losses and moving forward is brilliant!  Thanks John for sharing Janis's work with us.
