This is a very nice story of life, growing up, getting married, having kids, and getting older. I really enjoyed reading these stages of life, your poem had me reminiscing about my own life. The poem is well written with a nice flow and good rhyme. This is a nice read, thanks for sharing.

    I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to you for not only reading ?Loud and Proud?, but also for taking the time to review it. We all know that our time is limited and everyone on FanStory covets our reviews. Most of our fellow FanStoryans are like me, in that they have never been published or paid for writing anything. No one in my family is a big fan of poetry and so I get my correction and adulation from you! The five beautiful stars that you have bestowed upon me enhance the viability of this piece. We need each other and I appreciate you very much. May God bless you! FYI The vote for Bio is today.

We can't always get our way before we don't start screaming louder so that other can hear our needs. When you keep quiet people assume you accept their bad behaviour.

This is awesome. I go by the phrase "If it's too loud, your too old." I see you do to. I love the rhyme and this is so well written. Families, especially grandchildren, are a great source of inspiration. Have a great Sunday and God bless.

This is a great poem. The only typo I noticed was in the author's notes, it should be "too loud" instead of "to loud."

The poem itself is heartfelt and honest. I see no errors in it. Nice work.

In just five stanzas of poetry you have summarized your whole life from early childhood to senior status. You have described your ups and downs and mentioned the one constant characteristic you possess that has stayed with you through all of your stages, your volume. This gives you a great humanity and the humor is your grandchildren hushing you.

This was a really delightful poem with great rhyme and content that is surprising sweet and thoughtful, which is kind of unusual for a guy, if you know what I mean, so very refreshing. My favorite stanza being the second, dogs get me every time.

Well done, no suggestions for change.

From one grandfather to another, I can relate, though loudness was never my style. (My wife had a great glower that served the purpose, so I used hugs and humor. Both worked well: "Good Cop, Bad Cop"!) I'm glad to see the rhyme, too, as it seems to be becoming an endangered species of poetry. Good work.

    Glad to do it. I have been writing both poetry (always with rhyme and meter) and prose since age 14, and have published some of it; so I know good work when I see it.

I like the way that you constructed your Bio poem, all that and you incorporated a good rhyme as well. I can relate to the hearing loss part.
