Comment from NANCY V. FORREST
The form is perfect and a truth that humor can only accept and keep life-as-it-is light and optimistic. The illustration is a wonderful accompaniment.

Morning, Gee. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment on my Nonet. Sorry it took to long to reply - things have been crazy in my life lately. Hope to stay more active in the future. Have a great rest-of-the-week!

You have managed to detail most of the physical problems of the onset of true old age in this nonet. It reads as a depressing situation. Why did we want to age? Experience just isn't worth it.

Excellent poem indeed my friend and perfect entry for the Nonet Poetry Contest with best of wishes in the contest!
The words flow nicely throughout the piece and didn't seem to be forced at all;-) The imagery tied it all together for a nice presentation!
I appreciate your sharing this with us and many blessings to you;-)

Comment from Jake Short
What a poem! I really loved this one! I will happily surrender the win of the nonet contest to you, this was really good. You conveyed the emotion of the poem and described so accurately what the subject carried throughout. The punch line at the end was hilarious and your first two lines opened the poem up amazingly! LOVED IT!

You have read my mind. Those moans were so much more pleasant in the good old days when the joints worked as well as other parts. You made my day with a smile and little chuckle.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ain't it the truth. But is 'joints' two syllables? If so, that line is off. If not, forgive the drawl. You know mine got considerably worse since we moved here. But I love this! As long as judges don't take it toooo seriously, I think you beat me! It reads great and I think you have a good chance in the contest. :)
Blessings, Sis ~

Pretty sure Joints is a single syllable. But being from Texas, it is sometimes hard to tell, isn't it - haha. Thanks for the review.
