In each sibling, there are traits of the parents. Children of today are taller than there parents, This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.

Absolutely! Your lovely free verse poem must resonate with many. As much as the young think they have all the answers, there are indeed some benefits to getting older, even if it's only knowing your own mind! Well done, and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Janet Foor
Growing older does have some compensations. And yes, I do look in that mirror and wonder who is that person. A little more tattered and battered each day.
Nicely written. Good luck in the contest.

It has it's moments. But for the most I think a lot of older people would rather be where they are. Some would like to be younger in a lot they have earned that peace. Each stage of life has it's good and bad. Very well written.

Comment from cheyennewy
Hi Poet,
When we are young we tend to think we always will be. Not so...we age a little each day, I'm sad to say. But with age comes more wisdoms and an appreciations for things we never noticed before. You have penned a fine free verse for the contest and I enjoyed every line. Your words have been chosen with care and each verse is well composed. I dare say everyone who reads this will relate. Well done and good luck in the contest....blessings, chey

Comment from JM daSilva
Yeah, we all grow old, so we might as well enjoy the delights age can bring. Seeing your children all grown up is one of them.

Comment from steevie
Wow! To say that your piece is self indulgent, is like saying the sun is a bit hot. LOL
But that is what is asked for in this contest and you have risen to the challenge with bells on.
Your self description is short of genius and deserves accolades till the cows come home.
well done

"self indulgent" - hmmm ... contemplative and reflective perhaps ... or do you have a nasty mind and are thinking about chocolate again? :)

oops! er um ... you sound very nice, and the chocolate reference tells me that you are aquainted with me in some fashion or another.
a fine write, seriously ...

Comment from seren james
Very enjoyable read.I love the shape and how you have gone about setting appropriate words to fill the shape. The rhyming and imagery is very enjoyable. Now that I have reached there I must say grown old is great indeed.
