Hello, my dear friend. I wish I had a six left for you, this is a brilliant poem. But it relates to how I'm feeling at the moment. The picture of Private Ryan ageing is happening to me!! I swear I was a young 25 the last time I looked, and now it seems the years flew by whilst I was asleep! I have to tell you, I'm not in the least worried about it anymore. I miss so many of my loved ones, I'll be happy when I can join them. How are you, Michael, we haven't chatted for a long time, I've missed that too. Lovely poem. Love you still! xxx Sandy. xx

Hi Sandy...-smile-...

the service industry isnt what it used to be my friend...lot a down sizing going on, How have you been...? -smile-......
Ive gone mad by six six thirty most days...started drinking to mum that mirrored man....whoever he is. but anyway....I remember when I was a kid and spent the night at my granda ma's ...in the middle of the night a herd of buffalo wandered into her room...where I was...and started making so much noise it scared the ba gee bee right out my we we....and I started to scream like my sister only wished she could...siren sounds I mean. and my grandmother bolted back up straight serious as the sprung safety trigger on an itchy fingers winchester. begging whats wrong !....... without her make up and hair all mussed up...and after almost being trampled to death by her snoring....I just passed out. slept like a baby...-smile-
hope youre okay. love Michael

After reading the poem a couple of times I was able to visualize what you were describing. You have a misspelled word, maybe two, but otherwise I liked it.

nope...no way...
I have no mispelled words...only cared for metaphores.
I adopted that which you reject....and love them to life.
there's a difference between you and I Bloviator. Michael

A very well-written poem. The day f independence was cold and twenty years later time chances but we still remember that day o many years ago as if it was just yesterday

This speaks the eternal state of life cycle and Law of Nature as well systems of God's Creation; changes are inevitable; we get our physique changed every moment, we remain the same; well said; I liked.

Comment from Joan E.
Welcome back again, Michael. When I first saw the pictures, they reminded me of a young man and then his older self--comparable to the July and December of life. I don't know if that's what you had in mind, but I admired your signature circularity in this poem as well. Smiles- Joan

Good evening, Michael. I'm not sure that I understand what you are saying, but I absolutely love the way you are saying it! Each time I read it , I understand more. This is good--the way it has captured me and keeps pulling me in. Thanks! Caroline

hm...well let me help...-smile-
I've been ah up tight...and as every recovering addict... I thought to release through poetic expression...and so I found the Boss in a solemn moment slightly aged up close since the last time I'd seen him...and I just to walk with him....we ended up looking at pictures where Bruce spotted Private Ryan getting old....so I...I tagged along dammit. I should have known better last time we did this he took me in woods where we smoked weed with Willie Nelson...I got lost for weeks so...yea...no more. love Michael

Hey, long time no see?
This was a little not like you?
But the ice crystals lent to validity.
Still nice theme and imagery with the actor.
Thanks,
Ricky...
