You did a great job, Debi, telling this story using the 4 line
quote as an anchor to your verses respectively. I enjoyed
reading it and could imagine al of the ages represented. Your
words had smooth flow, great use of rhymes, and perfect
details to support each of the decades. I believe many will identify
with the issues faced and words spoken by the woman. Great work
with the complex style required in the rules. The picture was a
super addition. You gave readers much to think about both in your
poem and in their lives if they have faced this issue or may in
the future.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

Hi JanThanks so much for your kind comments about this one, but I believe it was just too long for my subject! I actually was running out of things to say.
But I do appreciate you so much!

Hi Debi, you did a really good job of this poem. Glosa is not an easy format to follow.
While some may think that the Golden Years "ain't what it's cracked up to be", it's all we got. We need to make the best of it, so get the rocker and knitting needles out and make room for me.
Of special note:
I need my own dear family
Not doctors, nurses, volunteers
(Amen. Ditto here.)
Love the photo. I'm glad you're a little "naughty" 'cause I am too.
A fun poem. Well done. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good
luck. Xo. M

Comment from Mary Vigasin
Very clever and brilliant.
Great take on Gil's poem. I expect whoever coined it the "Golden Years." regretted the term when he or she reached it!
I have to give you a six for this excellent poem/
Good luck in the contest.
Regards,
Mary

Mary, I thank you so very much for the loveiest review and kind words ever. I liked doing it, but I felt it was a little too long. Ten lines per stanza was a lot to add, yet fun prompt! And thanks for those grand stars, which are always the highest honor. Once again, I appreciate your kind comments, my very dear friend!.,i

If you read this fast it is almost like your rapping lol. I like it I'm just giving an observation. It is good though I like the line think of your life as souvenirs. Thank you for sharing.

Ikntity, I have to go read it again. I do tend to sing most of my poems for some reason. lol!!
I 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!

Ann, I cannot thank you enough for your incredible review, lovely comments and generous gift of six stars, for my golden poem, including Gil Broxson?s take.
You can't know how very much I appreciate it. Thank you again my dear friend.
Comment from jake cosmos aller
nicely penned tribute to life-long friends. So many people nowadays have a lot of virtual friends but real friends are few and far between and need to be cherished and nurtured.

The rhyme doesn't matter, but the theme does. I know my grandchildren won't grasp nor understand the words I wrote here and now, but they will, it's only blocked by time, and the beautiful sentiments of your work will date itself forward, but you threw in Christianity which will stick, well done Debi, well done, great write, your heart is in your work. Blessings Roy

Comment from Ulla
I loved this take on Gil's poem. No, I suppose, growing old might not be what it's all cracked up to be. So far I'm lucky to keep it in at arm's length, and intend to keep it that way for as long as I can.
Thanks for sharing. Ulla:)))

Comment from Carol Clark2
A fun poem, based on Gil Broxson's humorous poem. (I didn't know Terry's dad was a poet.) I like the way way you used rhyme here, and worked in Gil's lines. I also enjoyed your take on the future of growing old. Let's hope we can do that gracefully and graciously! Best wishes in the contest. Carol

I agree with the ten lines being a bit long to write, but yours read well. Hope your weekend is blessed. Carol
