Look at you with three First place ribbons, and I have but one because it only had four entries, and I am a year older than you. And being published surpasses any thought for me, for I have no time (that's a lie) to try, for who would I amuse but myself? Fanstorians?
As for the Best to Come, I like it, and our Slo' Joe (president)
seems to have received mums' words.

    Well, I hope you're more than a year wiser also. Tom your comments usually contain a degree of truth and wisdom. After reading this review, I'm afraid, I can't say the same about your judgement of poetry.

    It was a great photo. I really love these contests. It is really interesting to see how one photo can bring on so many varied interpretations. The sixth star was a delightful extra for me.

    Roy, you are always so generous and kind with your reviews. I agree, it was a great photo that encourages and invites a whole variety of choices for wannabe writers.

Hi Bob
This is delightful and your Mum was a wise woman with a positive outlook. No we can't go back and change anything past but we can learn form mistakes and try a bit harder to enjoy the moment with a smile
Cheers Chris

    Mistakes, we men don't make mistakes, we leave them for our wives. My wife suggests I'm her biggest, and only mistake. And she made that mistake twice. She married me twice.

Wise words from mother, and beautifully expressed in your words. A positive and forward looking outlook on life makes for a happier life. There's no good done by dwelling on the past.

    Your third sentence is so right. Dwelling on the past is useless. Thank you for taking the time to review this poem.

A positive attitude can change a future perspective in life and fill us with a sense of freedom and power. This is what your poem does here Bob, I enjoyed the ride, rhymes and sentiment, love Dolly x x x
