Hi JLR, I'm elderly so I get a
kick out of this stellar write.
Sometimes I wish I could
jog and ride horses again,
but my creaky knees won't
let me, lol!!! Have a splendid
evening. All the best. ~

Regina, thank you! I truly understand the losses we endure from our youth; thank you for your six stars - a wonderful gift, so unexpected.

I like this- it's so true, although I'm sure it applies to old women as well. I like the imagery- romping in the glen is such a good way of describing this. Thanks for sharing this and have a great day.

I love the art you picked to go with t his piece cleo85 does great work.
The poem holds so much truth about the nature of a man as he gets older. They want to be young again and romp around like they have more years in front of them instead of behind them.

Mia, thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my poem.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Like your poem. I guess it boils down to whether you want a relationship with someone because of age or if you have other plans like going to college and wanting no relationship until you complete your education.

Timing is elusive but not as elusive as the right relationship that doesn't get in the way of personal goals and achievement. If it is Right everything else fits hand and glove...
Comment from Terry Broxson
A good entry for the contest, good luck. Since you only had twenty-five words to work with, I think it is very creatively done. I am an old man. I don't think I am grumpy, maybe that is what saves me. Good job. Terry.

You're correct. Grumpy old men need love too. LOL I enjoyed reading your writing prompt entry. It has a good message and states it in only a few words. I admire that. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
Using 25 words to tell a complete story is tricky, you did it well. I enjoyed the humorous tone, this made me smile. The image you chose adds dimension and a lightness that accents your writing.
