Too bad the contest was filled. This is a good job on what I think is a very difficult challenge. There is also a great deal of truth and wisdom in your words here.

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Beth, I am so glad you posted this, even if the roster was filled, because you proved to your self ( and you reviewers ) that you could DO it.
A very fine job in both theme and execution!

Thank you Suzanne, It was kind of hard to avoid those As. I appreciate everyone of those reviews and comments that I've gotten. It was a fun challenge.

"It is good the mirror isn't our judge."
Good job, Beth.
Isn't this the truth, though? LOL
All of these images can be seen in my mirror plus some.
Brilliant poetry from start to finish, my friend. :) Bob

This would have been an excellent candidate for the contest you missed. No As, perfect meter and a good, solid rhyming schema. Thank you for going on with this piece and sharing it with us.

Comment from lyenochka
That picture makes me smile - not just in the contrast of the two ladies but in the change from pantsuits to dress! Wish you had put this in the contest as I'm sure it would have done well. I especially loved the last two lines. I'd prefer wisdom, discernment and truth over youth anytime!

Thanks, Helen, I appreciate the review and comments. I should have signed on right away but I thought I'd see if I could write a poem with no As first. They don't usually go that fast.

That's funny. I don't know how there are so many contests. I signed up to get notified and was shocked that there are up to four contests to vote on in a single day. Can't keep up with my regular reviewing and read all the entries, too! Sigh!
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Well written both in commentary and the prose. As an oldster I can
Identify with your words.
There will be other contests in which your fine writing will shine.

Comment from Ben Colder
There is nothing wrong with this poem that I could tell. It tells a story us men at times ponder about. However, it all comes out in the wash if we use a little bleach.
Best to you Beth.

You're so funny. You sound like Trump. He wants us to drink bleach and you want us wash in it. Thanks for the six stars.
Comment from Ulla
Hi Beth, what a shame that you missed the contest, because this wonderful poem would surely have done very well. I liked it a lot. Beautifully written and with great imagery. Yes, age catches up with all of us before we know it. Ulla:)))

Thank you Ulla, I almost decided to hold it until that contest came up again but don't think it does very often. I'm so glad you liked it.

Comment from mermaids
I enjoyed reading your words, I can relate. Our inner being does not change, but our physical being does. We still see our younger selves. Excellent poem without the letter "A". Excellent poetic form and use of words.

Comment from robyn corum
Beth,
Oh, no!!! I'm so sorry you missed placing this in the contest - because it is sooooo good. I could relate to each word! hahaha
The image is a marvelous match and the message is universal. We all wish (I think) that time didn't affect us QUITE so much. We start thinking about the fact that youth DOES seem to be wasted on the young. hahaha
I actually laughed out loud in parts of your piece and I am SURE it would have done really well in the voting. Besides the cool message, it was presented in a super way. The rhymes and flow were magical! Here is my virtual vote for you, anyway!
Thanks for the smiles!
