The number of seniors who were bullied or lulled into being adventurous and went foolishly into areas they should have left to the young and hardy people who have the stamina and desire to conquer new worlds. are too numerous to even compute.

Watching the news and seeing the destruction that Ian left behind was heartbreaking to say the least.
My brother lives in Tampa, and thankfully he was spared.
I hope Florida does not see a hurricane for a very ling time.

I don't blame you, jaybird. I think once you find your 'happy place' stay there. I hope all your loved ones were safe through the hurricane.
Stay well, cheers.

Florida is a beautiful state, with sunshine, palm trees, beaches, and resorts. Six months of the year is hurricane season, but six months are a total delight. It's good your weather suits you to a tee, because you are where you ought to be. Delightful poem.

Hello Jaybird. Your writing evokes vivid imagery and makes me think of busy family trips to warmer climes. I quite enjoyed your well-done rhymes, which are no small feat to achieve.
I really loved this line:
Let young ones face the storms and stife.
I'm happy here, this is my life.

Florida is indeed beautiful, I have been a few times and at one time my husband and I were thinking of buying a house there. I know it is popular with retirees.
A wonderful poe,
Suggestion for this line:
"But, now the youngsters (cannot) (wait),"
Love Dolly x

Hello Jaybird, a timely poem. Yes, many people flock to Florida for all types of reasons--not just the sunshine, but low taxes.
Of special note:
I'm now to old to make that change
and go to where the storm clouds range.
So, I'll stay here, all through my time.
I need no longer hills to climb.
Jay, you are right where you belong. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Jaybird, This is a very well written poem you have penned Florida and all the great things that was there for the young and old at heart, but now it has been ravaged by a large and devasting hurricane. You used great descriptive words. I hope that all of your family is safe that live there. blessings, Teri

I love Florida too and vacation there frequently. I also have relatives there like you state in your poem. Your poetic form brings forth feelings and meaning to your words, there does come a time to stay home.
