LOL I will take your word for it, It is too much work for this one eye. A good poem about the aging process, how it creeps up on us even while we watch it happening. Well done Beth. Nancy:)

Thank you Nancy. It isn't so easy getting all those As out of a poem. I enjoy your comments.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem without the letter a. It is hard to do but it seems possible. To look in the mirror later in our lives are a challenge to see how much we changed without noticing over the years.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello Beth, Oh what a pity you did not enter the contest. This is so well written, without a single A and it all makes sense and is so well written. You have not compromised the content of the poem in order to avoid the A. It reads beautifully. Well done. Warm regards Dorothy x

Comment from humpwhistle
I dare say this very well might've won, Beth. Quite a challenge to write such a long poem sans the letter A. And the poem is quite good, too.
I know where all the mirrors lurk in my house, and have become quite skilled at skirting them.
Peace, Lee

Thank you Lee, I appreciate the review and comments. I try to avoid them, too. Particularly if there is much light in the room.

Comment from Susan Louise Gabriel
An excellent poem, with or without the letter A! It flows so well and your message is communicated flawlessly without using an "A" in it. I also love the artwork you selected - it's perfect!
Well done! It's a shame the contest was already filled. Your poem is excellent.

Comment from Miss Cookie Atkinson
I Love the artwork you choose to go with your poem, they are a perfect match. You captured my attention from the start.
To write a poem like this, your not along the young youthful feature we had are slowly fading away.
No matter how we look outside we are the same loving person inside
Thank you for sharing.

Had this poem been up as an entry, it is the one I would have voted for. I love the subject matter, and the closing is perfect. That is the way I feel, too.

Comment from Gloria ....
Beth it's too bad you missed the deadline for this contest, because your entry is sublime. If you hadn't mentioned anywhere there was no letter "A" anywhere in your poem I doubt I would've noticed your words are so perfectly selected and used.
Fine metre and rhyme and a pleasure to read today. :)

Thank you so much for the review putting in words with an A and then I'd have to figure something else to substitute. I didn't realize how much we use that vowel.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Too bad about the contest--never would have noticed the absence of A's in this excellent poem--flows gracefully in perfect rhyme. (typo: most likely (replace period with comma) bright red. Fine work. Cheers. LIZ

Thank you Liz, I'm happy for this review which gives me the fifteen I need to have that recognize symbol, for what it is worth. That period was a typo. Thanks for noticing.

I have to read closely to distinguish them myself! I confess to coveting those virtual blues--frustrating to end up with 14 reviews--as I have a few times (once I was delighted to get an unexpected 15th after the promotion period had ended!)
