Oh yes life can be a real struggle sometimes, but these days are good, we own the house, our bills are manageable and our needs are minimal. Beautifully written my friend, the form is well written with articulate language and intermittent rhyme to keep it going, well done, good entry, good luck, blessings, Roy

Comment from RodG
I have given this essence poem four stars because (1) the Speaker did a good job of describing what the "good old days" were like for him, but (2) the format and meter are inconsistent. You can't really call this free verse because of the end rhymes . Rod

Good luck with those pennies. Black Thursdays at the market still lingers but not as often as then. LOL. Yep, glad we can sit and write. Merry Christmas.

Yes, some say hindsight is 20/20, but your poem points out a larger truth - memory is selective. Interesting that some choose to view the past through a lens of negativity and others positivity. You seem to have struck a wise balance.

The past is past, the future not yet revealed, so I admit, I have only the present and it too is a wonderful place. :)
Comment from Barbaraj1
This is an excellent poem. Yes, we try to remember the good old days,
but as you wrote in your poem, there were many ruts along the way.
We've all been through what you went through. Good luck.

Barbara, life is journeys sometimes with no compass.

As long as you are not paying REAL hard earned money to post, those pennies should last a good long while. If you are using your own money, I will pray for you to receive guidance as it is a waste to pay for meaningless flattery. This meets the contest requirements nicely as you deliver a well penned piece about the good old days, which proved to be not so great at all :). Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.
