Hi LIJ
This is a sad but realistic poem about a lonely man who just realizes he is old and alone. It seems faith can't even keep him positive.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Happy Holidays.

P S I would like you to know that I just published a book titled "The Interloper and other stories in prose and poetry". It is available on Amazon.com. I have provided a link to the book at the bottom of my profile page.

Sounds like old Tom is a tad down in the dumps. Let me bring you back up. I'm baaaaaaaack! I couldn't for the life of me remember your tag. I had to go back to my reviews in 2018, before I left for higher grounds. And there I found you.
Tell me you're still writing. I'm reading to build up a few sheckels so I can drop a post or two. Truth is, I failed at being able to download my Trining novel from my portfolio since it was locked. I had to fork out 69 bucks before they would open it up. As cheap as I am, I'm not going to leave without getting my money's worth.
So write something, will you?

Not writing anymore, although the intent to dabble lingers. I'm glad
you've survived wildfire and protest to return to FS, even if only on a salvage mission. My clan produces those who do well at most everything-up to a point. We survive but seldom excel. Maybe it is time to try again. Hey, your review got my ballad "recognized"! Many thanks!

You don't know how happy I am to hear your voice, Red. I was afraid you might have died. I haven't stopped my desire to hear about that good-looking deputy, whose name I've forgotten. There have been so many things you've written that I've grown fond of. If your health permits, please get back to your writing.

This is a bit of a cautionary tale. The harshness of the lines and images set the tone to parallel the weather. You have used strong metahors. The imagery you have described adds to the crux of the poem. This a poem that must be read aloud. I hope you did read it aloud.
There is more I could say. I will just say it is worthy of A+

Hi LIJ!
So good to read your nicely rhymed poem. These are all statements I can imagine my father making - though his wouldn't be quite so poetic. With the state of our world today, that just may be an understatement. Excellent work!

There is much sadness in these words and those who look forward to death must lead unhappy lives as life is a gift that should be considered previous and should be lived to the full, you are a long time dead, a poignant write, food for thought, love Dolly x

A very well-written poem about the farmer's son who grows up and before he knows he is old and ready to depart to another land where there are better things waiting.

I'm glad you finally posted something again, Ellijay. There's always something hauntingly beautiful in your stark imagery and voice, even seen so clearly in your artwork choice.
A study in opposites, Tom was shy and bold, and that does make sense even though it might on a cursory read seem paradoxical.
This poem is packed with emotion and a desolate honesty that is somber and real.
Great to read another of your fine poems and I do hope you post more.

Good to read something from you again Red. I loved your well rhymed poem- he finds that-- all at once-- he's old - I particularly relate to that line and enjoyed the mood of this read. Nicely done and welcome back
cheers,

Your challenge poem reads well although poignant. Your lines flow smoothly with great imagery. I like the progression taken from start to finish. You give readers a clear picture of you and. also, much to think about. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
