Wow, I love that poem. Gorgeous imagery that I really connect with. Gentle and flowing. Love the rhyme scheme and rhythm throughout - you nailed it and it really emphasises the theme and content. Brilliant!

Thank you so much. What a wonderful review.

This is a lovely Rispetto which captures bygone days when things were more leisurely. Image combined with your words have a nostalgic "feel." The first stanza is especially nice. Marilyn

Thank you, Marilyn. I'm glad you think so. I seem to be doing a lot of 'remember when' these days.

Some days are like that. But we are in the here and now and have to enjoy every single minute. :)

A tetrameter Rispetto in proper form, looks to me like, and at my age a lot of life is memories, and too many good things are memories only anymore. Excellent post.

Great job, Yvonne, with your rispetto form potlatch. Your meter is excellent & rhymes perfect. Your picture is a great pairing with you well-chosen words. Your picture has an 'old timey' feel to it--in a great way. I can see one sitting in their porch swing reminiscing about the days of old at the watering hole swimming, hanging out with a bunch of friends. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Comment from trumby
No matter how old a person is, they always like to remember times past. It's nice to think of the easy days of youth when work and bills didn't figure so strongly in your thinking.
It's also nice to remember a time when you didn't have so many aches and pains. I haven't had as many birthdays as what you have, but I've been fairly rough on my body with horse-riding and rodeoing.

Thank you for this delightful review. I plan on having 27 more birthdays after the one in September. I'm shooting for 102. lol
Take care of yourself. I'm very familiar with aches and pains.

Hello Yvonne,
A wonderful little Rispetto about those carefree days
that turn into fond memories.
The meter and rhyme are exact to the form
Excellent descriptive imagery and perfect picture to match.
Nicely done.

This is beautiful. Is written and flows so well. Great presentation. Love the last line. I have never heard of a Rispetto. Thank you so much for the explanation in the notes. Blessings, Cathy

Comment from evesayshi
In my opinion - just beautiful - an absolutely lovely poem, with a verse to which I can personally relate. I care little about the form in the read - the beauty for me is the thought presented so warmly in perfect rhyming rhythm. Thank you for sharing...

You are very welcome, Yvonne, but truly, I did not intend a great review, only an honest one...Eve

What a delightful poem, Yvonne, where you are remembering days gone by, when you were young and with not a care in the world. Your poem has great rhythm and imagery. A joy to read. All the best. Ulla:)))
