Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

This 3-5-7 poem, Age Creeps, has the proper format and finds us in the moment when we realize that the time for youth is in the mind and the time for life is in the near horizon.

A new prompt to me...but I think you nailed it with your three-five-seven poem.
I am, however, terribly weak in the field of short, short poems-among other forms.

This 3-5-7 has a reminiscent, sort of melancholy feel to it.
It is also a bit different from the rest of the entries.
That can be a good thing!
I wish you the very best of luck in the contest.

Yes, so true, and beautifully said. I love the picture, especially because I love the beach and there contemplate my eternity. So guess we have to live our lives to our fullest. Best to you, Rona

I'm glad it sort of creeps up on us. Imagine the shock if we looked in the mirror and it was dumped on us all at once. Aging does have its perks, though. Your 3-5-7 is worded well. Love the illustration. Marilyn

Fulfills the requirements nicely. I agree with the premise completely. I often ask myself, when and how I got to be seventy-five years old. It came when I wasn't looking I guess. LOL

I am 75 too. I don't know how that happened. When I get old I am going to concentrate more on my writing. Thanks a lot for the review. Take care Jen

You know what? It seems like that's how it happens. Cruising through youth past the teen years, we head to the twenties. We thought that we'd never get there. Next up, the thirties. Things start to speed up a bit from there. Then comes the forties. After that you wake up one day asking yourself, where did all of the time go? You've said a mouthful in this poem in so few words. I enjoyed reading this. Well done.

So true what your few words [as required] state. Good job on the syllable count per line. The picture looks very calming. You are right. There is no going back. Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan
