Even if you haven't been monitarily rich, this poem shows you've lived a rich life. You still have time to see the Grand Canyon and Niagra Falls.
I want to see the Grand Canyon too. I think you've reaped well

This is a very nice poem. I like the contrast between what you have and haven't done, that works really well. Thanks for sharing this and enjoy the next 70(with a bit of luck)

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I connected with this poem more especially when it arrived at the lines: "Still looking for the dust cloth/and learning how to cook. " I also liked these lines: "Have irritated more than a few people, yet,
also brought warmth and laughter to many." It sounds like the speaker has traveled to many places in the United States but never claims to have reached anything other than modest material success. What is important to the speaker is what has been felt, along with saving a toddler from drowning along the way. Neat post!

Comment from Gloria ....
This is really a good read Linda and most adroitly composed. Your first section about things you never had still brings them into the picture and then juxtaposed the truly gorgeous experiences you did have brings this to a full circle and the final line, "now I reap for I have sowed."
Superb free verse. A lot of territory covered. :)

This was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
It read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues as well.
...
Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Thanks,

Comment from Dutchie
Wonderful poem, Linda. I can relate to. Wealth is not always making happy. Good friends and Family do. To be there for others too. My life has changed now. Have been to Tasmania for six weeks, Have wonderful times with friends and family and so many nice things come on my way. Indeed Linda, now I reap what I have sown. Great poem, girl!!!

Oh, how exquisite! I LOVE this beautiful poem. I wish it was a contest entry, but I know it is (and will be) treasured anyway -- I would just like to see it receive the prize it should have.

A life much like my own. The best life with a different kind of wealth. You would enjoy my story, My True Wealth. Some things cannot be counted and measured with the seeing eye. Sweet and endearing this is, dear Linda.
Sending you my best today as always,

And what beautiful meandering this is. No, maybe there is a lot you haven't done but then again, you've done so much else which has been important to you and yours. I loved your free verse poem. All the best. Ulla:)))
