A three line poem

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written three-line poem. When we get older we are getting wiser and we see more what is wrong in the world but no one seems to recognize our wisdom or believe us.

Thought you packed a lot into three lines. Read the poem several times and asked myself If I could do as much in three lines...answer Hell No!
Good work, well done, keep at itEnjoyed Enjoyed the read and that is all that needs to be said .

You hit that nail on the head! Unfortunately, as we age, our accumulated wisdom is mostly best appreciated by ourselves. Great little poem! Luck with the contest.

Comment from Drew Delaney
Ha, ha, ha! Isn't that the truth? Young people think we are so ancient, our views and opinions are antique and would rather not hear, never mind heed. Enjoyed this very much.

Comment from Joan E.
Oh, my--I did not expect the contrasting final line. I suppose I should have been prepared, noting the picture you selected! Coincidentally, I'll be posting something parallel tomorrow, but more upbeat. Best wishes in the 3-Line Poem Contest- Joan

Comment from Bichon
Even though it's only three lines, you have made an interesting point. Obviously I can't really comment on the matter, not from experience anyway, but I enjoyed reading it!

Your contest entry is in great form, Tony. Your syllables per line are correct, too. I like the way you formatted your words with the last line in smaller font. I believe you are right. The older generation has much more experience in many areas but many don't care to hear from them. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Bucketlist
It's because your a monkey!
There is a mysterious condition which makes people have selective hearing until "I told you so!" It's called youth! For some reason they prefer to find out for themselves what is wise. 'Wisdom and money are wasted on the young'
Great to see you're out of novel mode
Hugs, Trisha

Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of all of your syllables in this maxim-style expression that, I feel sure, will resonate with many. We must pray that we'll never be as dumb as some young people think we are! :-)
