Congratulations on winning the contest, Chip!
As your economically chosen words and complementary portrait indicate, etched facial "clues" can be indicators of advanced age to an observant person. ;

Yes life does. I would like to have a lot less clues. Congratulations on your win. The words are so true and the picture is great as well. This seemed a hard one so extra kudos on your win. Rox

Firstly congrats on the win for your 7 words or less poem. Love the photo and your words, reminding us that wrinkles are not to be ashamed or embarrassed about. This would be a great fridge magnet,
cheers.

Witty write which is cleverly designed to show the good and bad aspects of life. The laughter and the tears all laid out for those who can decipher the clues.

Of course the eradication or at least obfuscation of said clues makes billions for the cosmetic industry!

Congratulations on your well deserved win.

Great poem on at least two levels--the obvious that life leaves clues on our faces that we've experienced life == and then a bit deeper in trying to determine the individual clues for each face. enjoyed the read.

Wow. The prompt criteria mentions that the piece should be concise and impactful. This was exactly that. The photo used is almost too perfect, props to the photographer. Thank you very much for sharing.

Today I learned what crows feet are. Interesting. You did a great job with this. I think too many people obsess about wrinkles and gray hair. Bring it on! Maybe I can get senior discounts then! lol. Just kidding, I have a ways to go for that yet. lol

Excellent entry, Author. The art work and poetry go together like a hand in a glove. The face certainly is a roadmap of a hard life. Perhaps working in the mines or then again, maybe he is homeless. Good job on it in any event. Good luck in the contest. Bob
