Exceptional

LMAO! Yes, this one hits home with many of us who used to be active and do extraordinary things. But these days we better choose to keep things simple. Someone asked the other night if I would like to go dancing. I laughed and said, better not, I might slip my whole butt out of socket. Congratulations on the win! And thanks for sharing. Ric

Thanks Ric. I adore dancing but we are not allowed to dance here because of Covid. By the time this pandemic shit is over, if ever I probably won't even be able to stand up. X

LOL. I used to dance somewhere every night for most of my life, and enjoyed every moment. I still like the lights and the music, and even a pulsating bass that jars the floor. But a walk on the beach with good company would suit me better these days. Have a wonderful rest of your week! Ric

Yaaaa! I voted for you. I'm so glad you won. When I read the poem, it smacked of so much truth. I actually related it to my own limited life. I think that's what endeared me to it. Congratulations!

Thank you so much for the review and for voting for me. I think a lot of people can relate to being fit one minute and then a doddery old crock the next. I certainly can. Have a nice day. Jen x

Oh, yeh! Tell me about it. In the past four years, I've broken my arm twice, my neck, my foot, my elbow, my wrist, and my nose. I agree. Don't bend down. Once it's on the floor, just learn to live without it. LOL Good luck with the contest!

ME too!... Nowadays if I have to get down on the ground for some reason,
it takes me 10 minutes to get there and another 15 minutes to get back up!
Getting old sucks!... This is a great entry for your Senryu, as far as I'm
concerned... Don't see any faults with it at all... My compliments!
Good luck with your piece!

Hi there,

How true is this piece! lol

As we get older, all those bold adventures we used to have feel ridiculous now.

Nice job here. I like the fact you went a non-traditional route to fit the piece rather than trying to shoehorn in an extra syllable.

Nice one
GMG
