Hi HarryT, I wanted to say how much I loved your nonet poem. I also entered the contest and when I read all the other entries I thought many were very good but yours struck me the most. I could really imagine looking at my hands and remembering how different they used to be and how I took them for granted. Really well done. And I love the photo you chose as well.

An interesting reflection here in this Nonet on the effect of time and ageing on our lives and how it changes our bodies too - an appropriate pic to illustrate

Your poem brings back memories of my own youth and playing baseball. I was a pitcher. Today I'd bounce the ball to the plate. Your vivid description of that shortstop's toss to first puts us there. Rod

Thanks for the review and happy to share a memory.

I enjoyed reading this. ALOT of the things in here are things my grandfather also said. There is beauty to be found in aging but also sorrow. This touches on that very well.

What could I do to make it a five star effort?
