Oh you did make me smile with this one. It's really funny, although getting cold will come to us all sooner or later. Lol. I wish you the best of luck with this little gem. Ulla:))

Always thankful for being read. My portal door is always open. Visit as often as come what May. ??? But it's March. Now what?
Comment from Jessica Wheeler
Ha! Clever, indeed! Great job on your Monokus. I honestly have never heard about this form before. But I think you did great, it's witty and rhymes well. Nice picture choice too.

is it a mono -cuss or mono-q? Who does such things? I am confused. Still, with instructions I can be taught. :-O
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This is a well-stated entry to the Monokus contest. The text is a good size. The message is focused and clearly stated. I cannot wait to be cold. It is a possibility it is better than getting old alone in this cruel world. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Mary Shifman
I quite like this poem. I often remind myself of this simple fact. I have a friend who always says that any day above ground it a good one. I have to agree. Good luck in the contest.

If I was to thank you for your comments would it be the first time or the latest? I can't remember how where the bath is and my diaper is soaked through. :-)

Comment from Alan Tryens
I really liked your poem. I have to admit I use my age (73) as an excuse sometimes for my forgetfulness. Sometimes I just don't do something on purpose and old age becomes my convenient excuse. Your poem gets right to the point. I have never written a monokus poem but I think I might try.

Monokus? Try? Why? Did I? If I did, how long ago was that? Forgive me I am two years your seniorship and that left the dock sometime ago.
Comment from Cherish Adams
Pretty darn clever! I agree. Counts out at seventeen syllables - I see the pause. Looks as if you nailed the requirements. And it's funny to boot. Great job and good luck. I hope you do well.

Heck, I hope I win. And I am not kidding. If I can't root for myself where should I turn. The other entries were fine, but I believe I got lucky and as you remarked, nailed it! Now, I'll likely be DQ;d by the CEC.
Comment from royowen
I love this one for obvious reasons. (At least for me) mind you with the hope that dwells in me, I don't mind. A most imaginative post my friend, not much wriggle room with only six words, but this is great, good luck, blessings Roy

17 syllables was the limit, and I did not discover the contest until 20 minutes before the deadline. I got lucky in the fact I was thinking how much time we have after a "you pick em" age.

Well done
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, What's the Alternative, reminds the readers that death is the only relief from life. Life has its ups and downs, but death is typically just down.

and yet ... death is only a new beginning, without a mortal body. Maybe, we should be thinking "good riddance" to the old and welcome in the new.
Comment from jessizero
I loved your message and I thought the rhyme was great! I am still young enough to want to get old. Some older people I know are sick of living. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

I always wanted to be older. At 17 I said I was 21, at 21 I was 25, and at 25 I was 32. Then I reached seventy, and realized older was unnecessarily desired.
