Loved the Rispetto form of the poem (something new I learnt). What I really like about the poem is that it transfers me to the place of your youth. Well done and thanks for sharing.

I am pleased you were inspired by the Club to create a Rispetto. I admired your rhythm and rhymes and reminiscing. I am glad the memories made your "old heart sing"--here's to more of both! Smiles- Joan

These stanzas, reminiscing of times now gone forever, provide true balm for the spirit - they exude a tone of peacefulness nay fulfilment and a super pic

Hi, Yvonne. This six is for you. It is my last one for the week and you deserve it for sure. Your poem manages to take me back with the happy thoughts of fishing holes and hammocks etc. I loved it. Bravo! Bob

Ah such lovely memories, Yvonne. The fishing hole holds a particular fondness for me despite my having never caught a fish in my life.

A superb Rispetto written in pristine metre and rhyme and a great trip down memory lane.

Much enjoyed.

This is excellent. Definitely deserving of a six. Your rhymes are perfect. As they always are. I'm come to expect it from you. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I'm glad you're back.

It's good to be back, albeit it spasmodic. Some days, I just can't do it. Recovery is long and hard.

Thank you, Tom, for this wonderful review. I appreciate your lovely remarks.
