Feeling Older Comments

This poem resonates with an old codger like me...

Mark, I'm back to this poem after 2 years. Are 'we' feeling OLD? ? ? ! To my next showcase (July) . bri ;)

love your glimpses of aging that make us smile because of their painful truth_ 5 star rating

MJ ---What would our days be like without your humorous yet wise observations? They would be boring, that's what! ! !

oh, Bri, humor can be spelled either that way or humour==I think it is a British thing like honor and honour

...And then decides to stay a while. Thank you so much, Robert.

I liked the humor in your poem. Many thanks for your kind comments.

Great advice! My next-door neighbor, who is younger than I am, slipped on the ice in his driveway last week while trying to take out the garbage, and broke his hip. He had had surgery on his vocal cords years ago because of throat cancer, so he couldn't yell, and almost froze to death before his wife came out to see what was taking him so long. Almost everyone in my neighborhood is younger than I am...

You know you are blessed When your heart if filled with Peace Even in the storm.....so touching, true and impressive. A beautiful poem nicely executed. My pleasure reading time and again.

Being an old man myself, I can understand the feelings of another old man. Why the people bother to make fun of us, we have courage to make fun of ourselves better than the people. Such a great and nice poem.

We don't have to stop living, just slow down a little, a change of activities helps too. Best advice ever; and well written too.Thanks Mj

Very academic. The penned well. I respect the mind and the target of the poet to focus on an important issue. Thanks for sharing.

Ha! Yes, aging is a challenging gift and there are definitely rules to follow.

Every day I look at beautiful Oklahoma sunshine and realize my changing attitude towards walk. Skipping it simply because of not wanting to put on warm cloths yet.

This poem made me confront my issues on this topic. I liked the way it makes me be honest, and face the back problems that are in this life of mine and some people around me. It is written on a subject we take for granted.
