Very nice. It flowed like an Irish Jig!
My favorite part :
This I did and to my surprise,
it caught both men and womens eyes.
It lifted life, this new found toy,
gave to my life, much peace and joy
Very good indeed.

As usual, excellent. Thank you. I so agree with you. While I'm only 70 I look forward to many more years and writing is on of those things I expect to keep me going...as I hope it will continue to do for you. KEEP IT UP!

Hello dear friend. This is a lovely poem. I think it's so wonderful that you found, joy and peace in writing poetry. Let yourself just emerge in it, and feel the beauty; It does give a good feeling inside keeping us young at heart. Nicely done.

This should have been a contest entry. Your poem rhymed, made sense, and it showed your personal side. Very nice job. Stay safe and stay healthy in the new year.

When the physical self stops attracting attention, a smart player finds another marketable quality. An ability to rhyme and share the profundity of a poetic talent is a neat feather in a guy's arsenal. Like the sharp blue Jay, a guy has to use what he's been given. Well done, Jaybird.

Hi Jay,
This is a good story in a poem. It tells that poetry can fill a void or be cathartic. Either way it is a gift worth practicing.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Mr Jay
Good rhyme and meter that doesn't sound forced. Nice presentation and imagery. Good luck with your writing.

As always, I enjoyed reading another of your entries. My mother, now deceased, was born the same year as you. And it inspires me to see how productive and involved you are with living life to the fullest.
Since I am approaching the 80-year mark, I identified a lot with this poem.
The second line could use a possessive form.
Thanks for writing.

It surely does bring peace and contentment to one's life, Bill, but I have not been able to write very many poems for some time now.
You might think I would be able to write about the loss of two of my children over the holidays but I cannot think of one line. I just feel empty. Poetry has kept me going since 2012. Good job here. Nancy:)
