I'm just honored, Susan, that you'd bother to go find them. Thank you so much. You have me looking through this book myself now and remembering some of these. It's been a long time. Wow. I can't believe I've written so much. It doesn't see like that long ago I was a newbie here. August of 2013. Not THAT long ago. Now I'm an old veteran. LOL mikey

Ahhhh. Coolness. I think I shall go and do likewise. Thanks. :))

Actually, I, along with my somewhat large ego, copied and pasted the stuff at the bottom. Hahaha. It looks pretty though and ALL award winners should have that I think.
So pleased you liked this. This is my natural style and all I ever wrote before I came here. Learning all the other stuff, sonnets, haikus et al has been a big help though in improving my free verse though.
Tom will come around. I'm relentless. Do you know Gloria? Her piece is awesome and our styles (and yours) are similar. Thanks so much. It's raining stars! mikey

LOL, as it should be! I think I'll go back and put MY little ribbons on mine... think he'll care? I love the idea! Booya! Good for you! it looks marvelous! LOL, yes, I know Gloria, she's fabulous! And I am honored to be in the same sentence with the two of you! This is amazing, I loved it!
If I hadn't had 102 reviews in the past 24 hours to go through I would have given it the old CatCrit, and will most likely go back and do it over... and do it justice as it's amazing... I've just finished up the replies to reviews... and yours is the ONLY review I've done in the last 24hours. hows that? wow.
I'm exhausted just from replying (not that i"m complaining,) I'll need that surgery just so I can relax.
I didn't want to leave it to after it all...
Well done, Mikey!

Congratulations Michael! This reflects my feelings well at the age of 61. WHERE do the days and years go? Sigh. Lovely work especially coming from a man's view. Don't mean to be sexist tho. Nice job! :) Suse

I love the picture. I love the poem. Time slips past us. It seems like a blink of the eye. The things we are grateful for changes and the list gets shorter. Can a ripple in time add to our lives? Would we want it? Great work.

I always love your analysis. Poetic in its own right. Thanks for all the stars. I'm still laughing at your husband at the doctor. Hahaha. I'll try and stop by and review. But, I'm only here for a few minutes here and there. I did read and LOVE IT though. mikey
Comment from Green Lake Girl
Good job with this free verse poem, Mikey. I hope you do well in the contest. I like how you show the passage of time. My favorite part:
It seems all my screams are just for me
for I'm alone
no one to hear
clearly pity is my quest

I'm so pleased you enjoyed. Glad you liked that particular passage. Funny I felt that way when I was young, but not anymore. :)
Hoping to find some FanStory time in the near future. mikey

Legacy
by michaelcahill
The young man's heart is full of sorrow and he feels alone as he grows older and older and wonders what will tomorrow bring.

Hi mikey,
It's been a little while. Glad to see you back here and for your writing as I have said before. Regardless of a poem or story you are the Forest Gump of writing. Great free verse my friend.
God bless always

Hi August. Great to hear from you. I pop in once in a while. So busy this year. I really miss last year when I just sat around writing. :)
Loved your last piece and sorry I didn't have time to review. Hopefully I'll get some more time to spend some time here soon. Thanks for the great review. mikey

Ah yeah, the stages of life. I think my most unhappy years were my teens and twenties. One feels pain so deeply then. This poem invites ponder.

Me too. I laugh when I read my poetry from those years. It's all dark and worrisome. I really thought I was ancient when I turned twenty-one. Ha!
Now, I think I'm young. Insanity is soooo underrated. :)

Remember bob Dylan's famous line, "I was older then, I'm younger now."
