Too much reality in this wonderful age poem. I love the way you used every letter.
You captured so much truth in your lines. I loved the ending, which is just another beginning.
Well done.

Oh how I loved this! It really hurt my jaws, but I laughed myself silly. Love the picture- really tops it off. You so creatively hit on all of my ailments. Bravo, fellow old person, Bravo! Betty

Thank you so much Betty for your wonderful review, you made me laugh. I'm nearing 70, so I am qualified to write about getting old. See you in Miami...
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That is so good, so funny, and clever! Using all the letters to list all the aches and pains, dos and don'ts of living. It's lucky we can laugh at it all! This is really good! Good luck in the contest. xsx Sandra

You show some things that come with growing old truly well in this cleverly formatted poem. It's really well written and I have been told that this is a hard type to write:-)

Thanks my friend for your great review. This type of poetry requires a little more concentration if you choose to rhyme your poem, but it isn't necessary to rhyme, that's strictly up to you. Thank you my friend.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
This is one I can relate to, but as a woman. No fun getting old but it is fun to joke about it. Must be good for somethign, after all. Good piece for the contest!

I thought your poem was delightful. The picture/artwork
was a perfect choice. I also liked how you
separated your letters into stanzas with revelant
content. Good luck in the contest.

This is a beautiful poem. The lines flow well together. I like the rhyme, rhythm, and the tone of the poem. The lines do not seem forced, and they all connect together perfectly.
Excellent.
