You chose a lovely image to go with your poem about being in the 'autumn' of your life. And now winter is coming... I think you have written this beautifully. Cg

Comment from Jim Lorson Sr
Sandra, I love the artwork you chose for this exceptional piece of poetry. You gave us a glimpse at what was and what the years have given you. Your beauty my friend still is there and without knowing or seeing your mum, I figure you shall grow older with a gracious beauty. You know we men judge our future wife according how her mother looks. So, I used the analogy of your mum. A wonderful poem of self reflection. Well done my lovely friend. Always,,,,,Jim xx

Comment from Maustin
"Years have passed, now Autumn shows
My life has been so rich and full
My face has lines, a map to show
My pains and joys in equal parts ..."
Beautiful work you have created here. The lines above are most revealing for me. I so enjoyed. Nice presentation. Good job.

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
That is very different for you, all your cute stories rhyme so beautifully, but this is beautiful too and so true. I do the same thing. Who is that lady and what is she doing in my house? =} Really well done. I have tried to get your book but amazon.com says they are out of stock every time. Hope I can find it one day, would love to get is for my niece.

Thank you so much, Roxanna, for your lovely review. I don't know why you can't get it on Amazon.com, I know Tom has bought it from them. But if you really want one and still can't get it from there, you can order it straight from Melrose Publishers.
www.melrosebooks.co.uk and they will send you one. I am really humbled that you want the book for your niece. I have some stickers which I can sign and dedicate, so I could send you one and you can put it inside. (If you want!!) Thank you once more for your lovely review! xsx Sandra

I'd love you to sign it. I think I will get two, one for me. I love kids books, I don't think I will ever grow up! I just bought one I said was for my nephew, but really for myself. It's about a dog and it has the cutest artwork. Anyway, yes please send me stickers. One for Izabella and one for me please. Roxanna Andrews, 3235 Bellingham Dr, Orlando, FL 32825. Thanks so much Sandra!

It will be my pleasure! If you have any problems let me know. I love the name, Izabella, I have a friend with the same name but spelt with with an 's'. Try Amazon.com again. They should have some. You know the title is 'Hedgerow Capers' xsx Sandra
Comment from adewpearl
You've used my favorite artwork in all of fan art
excellent descriptive detail as you contrast well the changes in your appearance as the seasons of your life are passing
good assonance of long I sounds in eyes wide
I love the closing rhyme and the most thoughtful message of self acceptance which you convey :-) Brooke

Comment from cvcopac
A pleasant read and a positive one. Nice lilt, good iambic tetrameter--could classify as blank verse except for several rhymes, identical, near. and vowel: lines/shines--show/show/known; the ow in known works as a vowel rhyme. Be and me. Good metaphor in 'autumn' and 'winter years.' A lovely tranisition of the seasons. cvc

Comment from Black_Oxygen
My winter years will soon be here
And I will hold them close to me
I'll smile a smile that tells them all
I am now where I want to be.
This poetry transports the reader to a wondrous
place. Thank You for your creation.

Comment from Robert Lee Brown
This is a beautifully written and presented poem about your life and your perspectives. I like the way you divided it up into seasons and your anticipation of your winter years, which are soon to come. Hope yours are as great as mine have been for me and now are. I have enjoyed being ninety so much that I have decided to be ninety something for the rest of my life. Thanks for sharing. Your friend, Bob

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This lovely, well-written poem vividly conveys the mindset of one who can be nostalgic without becoming regretful--can be optimistic about the future. Really good poem
