*Idea* TYPE: Poem   *Clock2* LINES: 15


*Pencil*   Subject
Years – A poem about growing old without making memories.

*Music2*   Form & Feeling
This poem expresses deep regret for a past not worth remembering, and you've accomplished it using only a few, well-chosen words. Being among the older generation, I can totally relate to what you're saying. Although I don't see my life as wasted, I kick myself for letting days go by without making better use of them. The plea at the end was a nice touch that actually turns the sorrowful tone of the piece into an inspirational one.

*Magnify*   Technical
You have beautiful wording and writing. I couldn't find anything that needed changing.

*Paw*   Overall
It's a wonderful poem with deep meanings that are memorable and witty. Excellent job!

*Heart*   Favorite Part
So I count on my fingers.
I need my other hand—
Not enough hands
To count the years it has been.

(This is my favorite stanza because it mixes humor with the regret.)


Thanks for sharing your writing!
