Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
Whatever, you did it right and make changing gears sound like fun. Yes, I'm doing the same thing as you except without cats. It is strange after all those years of never enough time.

I still don't get much done. Just being lazy. Thank goodness for my cleaning lady.

Same here, Yvonne.

This sounds like a great plan. To have time for yourself, do what you please and eat what you like....it sounds like heaven! Add in a cat and its complete. I really enjoyed your poem, thanks for sharing. :)

Oh yes...I can truly relate to your message that is so well expressed in your trimeter quintets. Where does the time go? I once heard my mother say that it takes all day to take care of herself, and now I can really understand. However, my hours spent writing are still the most exciting. Thank you for sharing! :-)

Thank you for reviewing. I don't do a lot anymore, but still the days fly by.

Hello Yvonne.
I like the message in this poem. I can identify with the first stanza in totality. I don't have to worry about my schedule anymore. When I retired five years ago I stopped having one. It worked out well for me.

I've never got a six when I need one. You not only wrote this form right, the words were so poignant. They are one step in to pleasing yourself what you do. And that's how it should be. I really liked your poem, dear SATP. Looking back on those years when we were chasing around after everyone, getting their stuff ready for school and then work. All the extra jobs being a wife and a mother entails, and then they leave the nest. But the cat stayed! Of course, they did. You can talk to them, open your heart to them, get mad and rant, and they still stay. I loved this one, my dear sister. Sending you love and hugs. :)) Sandra xxx

Yvonne,
This sounds like the shifting of gears when you become an emptynester.
It sounds like a perfect life to me. Reading and writing are the best ways to spend time.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Good Job, Yvonne. You did a perfect entwined poem.
You selected a very cute picture to adorn the work.
It is an interesting form I must say. It looks like you did it right. Well done. Nancy:)

I am zero when it comes to forms .I struggle to rhyme and I am comfortable just writing free verses.But I admire those who can .This is a wonderful poem which I think is about myself.. sometimes we have to just leave our duties and chores....

Comment from Sherry Asbury
Oh, I love this!! It is my story too. We work from sun to sun and work is never done, but oh, the joy we have in our families and our life's missions.
The darling artwork just grabbed my heart. Now I and my fur babies can lounge and sleep and read and drink endless cups of tea. I am not familiar with your form, but reading it carefully, I find it to match the criteria. Do have a cup of tea with me sometime!

I would love to have a cup of tea with you. Thank you for this delightful review. Have you settled in your new place pretty well by now? Where are you located?

Yesterday I finished all the "rough" stuff and just have things to hang on walls and so forth. This bldg just has one floor for "special" patients and it is in Portland, Oregon...

I'm glad it's nearly done, and I know you are very much relieved. Take care and no more falls, you hear?
Comment from Ben Colder
Sound as if we may have something in common: no cats but a few neighbors at times to talk with. Yes, I read much and write as well. Good one, thanks for sharing. My blessings to you.
