A Day In The Life Of - Me! Comments

This poem is the best and I can relate to this

Ernestine, this poem is a smash hit. Deserves a 10+. How I long to read such poetry in the barren wilderness, the bleak Sahara, of Poemhunter. A site that was once a joy to visit, but has now been invaded by Poetasters and Ninjuns.

Very Nicely done, Poetess E....Seems as if our once literary family circle fron almost one-half a score of years ago hath turned into a square and tumbled end over end out the PH back door of inefficiency....Hope all is well in your world, young lady. Happy Thanksgiving even if you don't officially celebrate it... Drop me a message when you get a chance...Have you heard anything from or about Alison 'Allie' Cassidy, or Jerry Hughes? I miss Sandra Fowler, Herbert Nehrlich and especially Michael Shepherd...I left PH in 2010 in complete disgust for their continuous tunnel vision towards any problem one of us or at times all or us needed fixing including the gross disrespect of not even a standard one line reply.... I returned in December of 2014, and have since pop in & out perhaps for about as much time in a week what I once spent writing, reading, commenting and meering fine people such as you... in one day...everyday! You take care. ~Frank ~

I took great delight in your charming poem.

I's a real skill to write a poem about everyday life. A delightful read. Ron

I came across this and I know your life has changed since you wrote it, did you ever wonder, as a lot of people do, how you ever filled so much into your day? A very interesting write here, thanks,10 Lynda xx

Great storyline, very peculiar things we all do everyday... I wonder what those dreams about? A 10.

Wait until you retire for a rest.You will find the days are too short to fit in all you want to to do as well as what you have to do and you get no days off or holidays either

It's amazing how convoluted life is, when analyzed! Thanks for a stirring rendition....

hahha awesome! You really know how to work. My life would read more along the lines of 'wake up, grab dirty clothes off the floor, sit in office all day, go to gym, and sleep'...ah the joys of post-graduate life.

What a hectic life you led! Wonderful poem, thanks for sharing. '10' Andrew x

Retirement brings more freedom but only if you both share the chores.We have so many interests that we a re busier thn when we were working but we only do what we want to do and when we want to do ir.Growing old disgracefully to quote my wifes motto

Wow! ! ! , I got tired just reading that Ernestine, too much for me. My day is busy enough I can't imagine going through this ritual. By the way I didn't notice any time for you in there, you know the hairdresser, getting your nails done, the massage, reading poetry for an hour or two. Life is far too short not to have time for yourself, oh I know I was guilty of that in the past but no more, I'm thinking more of me as of late. Excellent poem, I could feel the hussel and bussel of this daily routine.--Melvina--

Oh and one more thing....time to make some changes to your rituals....((smile)) Take care of U. =Shelley=

Yes you and many of us have quite the ritual going on in this poem........((Smile)) You did a wonderful job at describing the emotions and rituals we all experience daily.Very well written, easy to relate to piece of work! Keep up the Great work and enjoy your day tomorrow Ernestine...... =Shelley=

You really made my day! This is a ritual day by day activity of a simple man with simple dreams and desires. thanks for sharing, I love this!

Another day like yesterday with tomorrow yet to come Can you not find time for play Im sure it would be most welcome. Persuade your spouse that he should share the chores around the house I think that is only fair.. The first one home prepares the meal. because we have a sweet heart deal

Love it, love it, love it, I can certainly relate. Thankyou so much for taking me through your day.---Melvina

This is so great! I LOVE to read poetry that flows like this one! I hope you were soaking your feet when you wrote it! In my opinion, this poem has great form and perfect flow, and we all know hard that is to do.

Dear Mrs/Ms Northover, You did a spectacular job putting the whole imagery together! Smooth and quickly read while @ the same time found myself nodding and grining with memories of the same. =) Thank you for the sweet comment on my poem 'What a Pecker'... glad you enjoyed it! It was fun to write.=) Expect me around more, for I'll be lurking around at more of your work! I give this poem a 10 for multi reasons...1 for the imagery and structure of the piece, and 2 for the fact that any woman who admittedly goes through day after day of womanhood of such and then can kick back and chill with laughter over it all deserves to be patted on the back! =) Looking forward to reading more...keepem' poppin'! ! Ciao, Kristin!
