Very interesting and very well written. The rythm and ryhme work great. It was easy to read, though I must confess I don't have a full understanding of what it says. I still enjoyed reading it. :)

A beautiful, well balanced poem, in the usual excellent rhyme and metre, by which all your work can be judged. A well expressed allegory of introspective self doubt, I hope it does not reflect any recent sadness in your life.

Great last line; you describe so well the way one feels when that reliable strength seems shaky in new circumstances. It is a startling occurrence, but survivors are what they are, and you are one. :)

We should all be able to identify with this beautifully written poem. The years go by so fast, and it's easy to pass opportunities. We often wonder if we can still meet goals we set so long ago. Thanks for sharing this with us.

This poem flow beautifully. It has very natural rhymes and rhythm that is excellent and what is says is easily understood. Sometimes we all feel we are losing the strength and resolve we once had. I think you are too young to feel it as keenly as I do but have said it well.

Oh, there you are. I was wondering if you'd gone on vacation, HA! I sense a sadness in your poem, as beautiful as it is. Of course I must tell you my favorite part: "So foreign, these dualities The twain cannot agree" is the perfect way to sum up the feeling of fighting with oneself.

This is a great poem in introspection, and I like it because you use fresh words, I don't see any cliches. My fav phrase is "But, as of late, a sense of loss..." A very poignant work.

I liked the way you put elements in opposition to emphasize your quandary. I especially admired the phrases "from birth to giving birth" and "drops of past resolve". The self-doubt resonates so well in the picture you chose, as well.

Excellent poem taking us from youth to age.

Very emotional.

I really like this line: My old endurance fights this change-this is so true.
