My Repetitious Future....[long; My Life/Personal; Math] Comments

A funny mix of maths and literature! Congrats on being poet of the day!

To write 500 poems, fill the bird feeder 120 times and sleep 10 hrs a day and love your spouse.....what else one would want. Funeral list might be longer that you think though! Enjoyed the poem. Congratulations for being poem of the day.

very peculiar...congrats for emerging as member poem of the day

This poem made me think a lot, the entire length of the poem and especially when I got to the poet's notes as I'm 65 myself and really the last few weeks thinking about this a lot: how many more times... But the thing that really struck me was out of all the counting ups of the varioius actions, activities, death, measely death only gets one chance. Somehow this gave me a feeling of much expanded time and freedom. Thank you for this realization, a very good one for Easter day; may you and your wife live a long time yet in good health and filled to the brim with the things you really (both of you) wish to do.

It's nice to see you as member poet of the day Bri. Take each day as it comes. Enjoy the beauty of nature all around you as it unfolds and cherish the love that you have. I'm 66 this year, I lost my wife four years ago, and I have just rekindled my love in photography (hence the lack of poems lately) and I have a dog that gets me out the house. The only other suggestion is never let yourself get angry.

Written in 2012 and no comments until now? Bri, I guess it was so long that nobody wanted to read it until it was chosen as poem of the day. Just kidding, my friend, I hope you are having fun in Europe. Too bad you probably won't find out this was chosen until long after the fact, but it is well-deserved anyway. Great job, buddy.

bri, it took me some reading but it was worth it and your maths, your maths really good I must admit congrats my friend bro.

Wunnerful! I really liked the tallying. I do this often, perhaps as a way of putting things into perspective. Stats show that married people live longer...You may be immortal.: -)

Enjoyed reading this one. Congrats

Na wa o. I'm into the spirit of this poem. The lines are beautifully alluring. I love this poem. We actually don't have to live too long, maybe for someone's sake

Bri Congratulations ontogeny Poem of the Day! Well deserved!

Heartiest Congrats on the Poem of the Day and this beautifully envisioned equally beautiful poem expressing a desire about the future course of life, with minute details.

Bri my friend...we need you..we feel sorry to think and see your calculation to sit in dine for 7300....and every calculation......we need you in numberless new poems............keep writing for us.... have a ear to my murmuring...you have written a great poem from the deepest corner of your heart.... nurul.

Excellent poem with the details of calculations. I really enjoyed your lovely write!

A thousand times 'i'm sorry '! Thanks for sharing.

The calculation of longevity and ensuring the remaining years by the active support and care of the best half a good imagination the poet made.

In other words, your mind prepares you for the next inevitable event, which is going to take place one day or the other, on what ever cause it is going to be. When most people seem to get scared to think even on this, you do it quite joyfully. Great! You are inspiring us too, to follow suit. Also congratulations on your well deserved accomplishment Bri. X

Congratulations, Bri Edwards, it's a beautiful poem.

They say I have a metabolism that, if marketed, could make me a fortune. Consistent 160-165 lbs Walks every day. Wife of 61 years only threatens to throw me out about once a year My salvation is the fact I am the father of her children. I would not be at all surprised to beat George Burns record of 100 years. I expect her to outlive me by 20 years. It is traditional in our family. (4 yrs difference) Move to a condo has given us a new lease on life this year. Great people here. I like your biographical fore-telling and may produce my equivalent. only a 9 since I hope it is innacurate in your length of years. Live many and be content.
