This nicely rhymed poem brought back a flood of memories of all the past co-workers who have died untimely deaths. A good reminder to keep in touch with those who have shared our lives.

Well done. Love your photo and title. I'm very familiar with that expression. Your first verse was a perfect introduction. I like how each verse is like steps back in time. Then the powerful ending" Once in awhile becomes once in a blue moon" So true. Well done!

Hello Dellahay, I really liked your poem... except that I'm headed for that particular time in my own life I'm afraid, and I'm not looking forward to it... not at all. Calgon... Take me away!!!

Hi Dela,
This is a great write. And so true. It is best to keep in touch with friends and enjoy the time we have together, as tomorrow really is not promised to anyone.
Nothing here to suggest improving upon.
Thanks so much for sharing.

well this certainly has the rhythm to be a song and a message that would be universal. it is an excellent poem and will make an excellent song. "Once in a Blue Moon" is a decent hook, too. nice work, Delahay.................meeshu

We often use this phrase in our neck of the woods and I am from Ohio. I love this poem, but how sad. When we hear news of our peers passing, it is a shock as we never know when our number will be called, do we? I love what you have done here, very poetic, yet realistically conversational and honest. True to life and death. Great Job with this.

OMG - everyone is kicking the bucket. At least your poem read just like the last one, nice rhythm and matter-of-factly. Another poet could have made this very depressing. Best Wishes, Lou

As I get older, the words in your poem are all too real. I know it's part of getting older, but it's not one of the more pleasant aspects of getting pass seventy. I do appreciate the simplicity of your poetic format, for it's a nice change of pace. Best wishes.

Oh, the mirror may be "a wicked muse", but it makes me less arrogant. You're welcome.
Comment from Miss Sherry
Great poetry - said in simple talk that real people use. Tells of how real life goes. It could be a song because you have a way with the language of "just folk". I really enjoyed reading this and your artwork is quite a blue moon.
