The author's words flow and connects well and they follow the poem's
guidelines. I agree with this author The Golden Years "It ain't what it's cracked up to be". I find that whether we like them or not sometimes
we have no choice. The artwork is awesome and compliments this
poem well. Hi Debi, hope you are doing well - have a great Friday!..Maria

Hi Pat, Thanks so much for the great review and comments for my Golden Years poem. So appreciated my friend!
Comment from Tom Horonzy
and still, we travel on, despite the aches and pains knowing that the sands of time are slipping by more quickly than way back when the top glass had more sand in it accepting what is to come grateful for what has passed.

Hey Tom, thanks for your awesome comments about my poem. You are the best. Oh yes, that dang hourglass, the less sand in the top, the faster it goes.
So the only thing that I can do to change that is to mix and fill the top of it with much substance and with lots of other things. Grandkids, memories, joy, love and whatever leaves you with less regrets at the end.
Comment from Pearl Edwards
You're right - It ain't what it's cracked up to be.
You know the old saying, some days are diamonds, some days are rocks,
well in the 'golden years' there are more rocks to avoid. LOL
A fun read Debi,
cheers,
valda

Comment from Mark Kuglin
Nicely done...An absolutely delightful read.
Your poem is a touching take on memories and the aging process. It also delivers sage advice.
You also managed to include the above and land it in the required structure...Not an easy task.

Comment from Heather Knight
You´ve chosen an interesting topic. It must be hard to grow old...
I wonder why they call them the golden years. Anyway, like you say in your poem, I hope to keep my optimism.
Thanks for sharing. Thought-provoking.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
Several of my classmates still get together after 58 years. I used to join them when I lived closer to where they get together. This is something to plan. This group has gotten together monthly. It was funny. We always order pizza & salad. One time the pizza was too well done & hard. We were all worried we'd break a crown or teeth in our partials...We laughed so. This was a good subject. We're all turning 76 (trombones) this year...lol

LOL, I love you!! You are so much fun and I always get a chuckle out of you. I know why you do so well at your young age and that is because you know how to laugh at yourself as aware at the world. My favorite poetry that I have written is about humor with twists at the end. I have many throughout my portfolio. I am in the middle of planning my 50th reunion that will be in October. I am having it in a casino, where those who will never see each other again can stay up, party all night long and after spending a fortune to get there, can not miss a minute with those old friends.
thank you so very much for such a kind review and comments. I loved writng it, but I felt it was a little too long. It was especially an honor to write alongside of Gil Broxson?s original. Yet I think ten lines per stanza was a lot, but it was a fun prompt! Thanks again for your kind comments, my very dear friend!
My only living aunt just passed away about a month ago.
She died at 99, the day before her birthday. I so wished she could have seen the big one.

my friend from my concent days was short of 103 because she got Covid. I had the nurse take down my message to Sister Bea. I told her her father & dear secret friend ( remember the stuff in my monastery about having friends? she could never publically have Barbara as her friend. Barbara died before that rule was no longer. So I told her her father & Barbara were waiting for her so she could let go. The nurse was crying along with me at the note. Bea passed the next day.

Ooooooh what a sweet and poignant story. I am 68, but in some ways my dear, I feel like a kid myself and believe you to be the same way.
Do you still have that young man helping you that you gave your car too, and became part of their family?
-
I am independent and my neighbors respect that. I do know I can call on them if need be. One of the things I pride myself on doing is, in good weather go slogging with my new cat, Sammy (he appears in my Bea 3 book around chapter 17... ) & daily sledding in my 40# bag of wood pellets.

Comment from JLR
Debi, as one who has taken a deep dive into those golden years, a time when, like fruit growing on a tree to be harvested, so do we in our golden years ripen in wisdom, the zest for life, family and what is yet to come. Your Glosa is a wonderfully precise example of a difficult poetic style.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Well that was some poem, Debi, beautifully done. The words will resonate with many as we enter our golden years. I've just walked over the doorstep into mine, but I'm hoping there will be a long corridor to walk before the door closes. I have to agree that the older I'm getting, my children think I need to be looked after, lol. It's funny how roles appear to be reversed. I don't think my mind is going, yet things I say I know makes them think so, by the roll of their eyes. At least we can get away with a lot more!! I really enjoyed reading your poem, Debi, I couldn't help but smile as I wandered down to the end. :)) Love and hugs, dear friend. :) Sandra xxx
