Thank you for sharing your photograph as a stunning example of stampeding change and the inviting poetic form. I appreciated your eight-lined stanzas and your rhymes plus the reminder that change is inevitable! Smiles- Joan

Comment from nancy_e_davis
There is much wisdom in what you relate here Tom. The picture is amazing. At first I thought it was a Hobo camp across the tracks from a bustling city. We have seen a lot of upgrades in our lifetime. I couldn't/can't keep up. Don't have the energy anymore. LOL Well done. Nancy

Thank you so much Nancy for reading and reviewing my poem. People who live 100 years have seen enormous change. They have amazing stories to tell.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That is so true, Tom, sitting here at my laptop, I recall when it was a typewriter I used, the ones you had to really thump to get the keys down. No telephones in our home till I was fourteen, mobile's? What on earth were they? How did we manage to survive in our day, Tom? We did, we had human friends, not ipads, we went out to play, we mixed, we lived! Soon we will be born and given a pill to lay in bed and sleep our lives away while the pill gets our brains to tell us we are working and having fun! Well done, my friend, change comes faster than most realise. :) Sandra x

Comment from Pantygynt
What an interesting form and for you, if I may say it, quite a lengthy poem. I was particularly taken by the ruined flour mill. The possibility of a flour explosion used to haunt me when I ran my own mill in the 1980s. The fine dust concentrated in the air and the possibility of a spark should the grindstones accidentally touch is very high and many mills were in fact destroyed or badly damaged in this way.

Thank you Pantygynt, yes, your mill poems were very interesting. That explosion killed 15 people imediately and 4 more died later from the burns of the fire.

Comment from Brett Matthew West
Poem depicts the fact that the only thing that remains the same is that everything changes.
Good advice written into the poem, especially about not getting too "smug within your world".
As stated, you may have a very rude awakening coming if you do.

I have enjoyed reading your authors notes almost as much as your poem. A very interesting and imaginative poetic verse. Very well written.

Comment from June Sargent
An astute commentary on the folly of believing things will always remain the same. The fact that you have moderated free verse with some structure makes the poem unique. Flowed nicely. Maintained interest. And was also informative. Well done.

There s always change going on in our daily.lives. Sometimes it is not easy to accept the changes, but at the end we adapt to it for survival.
