Automatic six stars for the picture. But your poem itself is even better, and the visual presentation is spot-on. An outstanding use of just 15 syllables. You're going to get like four notifications for this review. Thank you for sharing.

    I do appreciate your kind words.
    Funny that it's been three months since I posted it originally
    I found it to be an insightful reminder.

I hope the second time around will be different and a little more money this time. This is a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest! Have a great day, and God bless.

    It's hard to comprehend after all the struggles of mortality how life can be without money and celebrity.
    Thanks for the review.

Dang, Tom.
This is really good.
You are a really deep thinker when you want to be.

Wish I has another six. Strong.
Yep. I would call this piece borderline genius

GREAT to see two posts from you in one day! This must mean your muse is back from hiatus and you're feeling better, I hope?

This is so clever and wise I could have sworn I'd read it before! (Not accusing you of plagiarism...it's just so darn smart how could we all have missed it?)

I am (I know, please be appropriately shocked)--actually in possession of a sixth-star, and man oh man, but I am very happy to leave it here with you!

Happy Holidays, Tom!

    Well, thank you. If it was copied I don't know how. My reads in poetry have been of the greats ie: Wordsworth, Frost and Milton. It seemingly came as easy to me as asking a vendor to dip my vanilla cone in chocolate. You are always so nice, and I am honored forh the bonus star. Thanks.

    See! I told you it only sounded so wise it should have been said before! You listened to your muse and put it out there as an original!

Your title brings out a moment of curiosity to the living soul. A moment many do not write about yet you had the confidence to express your feelings in a contest entry. I like that your syllables create the perfect entry.

    Perfection is a goal I have not achieved.
    Your words echo the thought Bobby Jones said when watching Tiger Woods play a round of golf saying, "His game is one I am unfamiliar with." Thank you so much!

    My first offering in a month, I think. My creativity has waned like a setting sun, and I can only hope this piece is the first crowned thorn of a new day. Thank you for the beautiful review.

Well, I'm glad that you've offered the clarification and time schedule. I thought you were a monkey already, but now I'm realizing you're an ape.
LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh, you naughty boy.
    Blood has finally renewed circulation to my bloodstream.
    I can only hope there is more to write ahead.
    Thanks.

This is as cute as a puppy. I might try one. I love the picture. I like the font. I think the black and white theme is a good fit. Grand all around. I would have given a six but of course I had none left. Karen

    but of course, you are nixed of six stars... One cannot wait about for a rogue like myself to make a splash with a new rendering. I appreciate the thought, though. Always yours.

This is a great 15 syllable poem. I love the flow of the words and the way you say, "you will again, just not know when.

Well done and good luck in the contest.

    Oh my, are you new to my scandal sheets? I have been away creatively for over a month, or longer it seems. Maybe, a fall I took 7 or 8 weeks ago was the cause as this was the first offering offered by me in some time. Thanks for the read and comment.

    Tom,

    I am 3 months new to Fan story and I love it.

I have mused about life after death, but I don't really believe in it. Once you are dead it is the end and we all soon forgotten as the world moves on. It is good whilst it lasts, so make the most of life whilst you have it Tom. Love your cute rhyming here, love Dolly x

    I hope for you and , you're wrong... for what other reason have we our memories and recall. My own belief is angels don't keep a tally of the assets and deficits we collect on our life's journey but that we will return and report before a heavenly tribunal where we will judge and plead forgiveness for our wrongs. As always, you are a doll, Dolly.
