I wish I had the luxury of simplistic fantasy. The common dreams of youth are lost upon my muse. My inspiration now is set hard and fast in thick cement. I dream in faded tones, and etch my words in stone. Years have gone and now old age has stolen the poetic sage. Left a whisper of faded hues all color drained, shaded truths. Perhaps in my senility I'll find minute serenity. WhiteRose "my reflection becomes me" |

I consider it a "luxury" to be able to read your poetry for free!--as for the senility, it works for you! lol Peace & Love, EA |

Ringo, thanks for reading and for that bit of encouragement. It's nice to know that I have more to look forward to as I get older than just loss of memory, and loss of pretty much everything else too.  |

Hey sweets! I think its fairly obvious that no one is buying into that senility thing! Too much poetry and artistic beauty belies the claim. As a matter of fact, your probably as far from it as anyone I know. But anyway, the lines are wonderfully penned and exclusively yours. Lots of love my dear. |

Anne, I loved this poem, but I love all your poems, don't I? LOL Seriously, Anne, like I told you before, I'm really glad that you're posting more than you were for a while. All your poetry is beautiful. This one has perfect rhyme...my favorite kind of poetry, actually. Thanks for sharing with us....  Heart Hugs, Ethel |

Waldo, my dear sweet friend, I am older than you, remember, and much closer to senility. I'm old, I tell ya! As my grandson would say, "Grandma, you are the oldest person I've ever seen". Bless his little heart, I love him anyway. Thank you for your very nice comments  |

Ethel, You are always so very kind in your responses. Life has a way of taking twists and turns that sometimes leave us a bit befuddled, and confused. I've had a few of those of late. I missed all of the poets here, and did not realize just how much until I came back, and had the sense of coming home, to a place where compassion, and understanding just overflow. Thank you dear lady for your very nice comments. |
