Excellent

Aging is becoming wiser
The dark locks of hair might become whiter
But the depth of the mind is wider.

These three lines indicate that I have loved your quatrain poem and I have enjoyed thinking about the questions you've asked.

Yes my friend aging indeed does catch up on us all the face we see in the mirror is a lot different to how we feel well done my friend regards Jill

Excellent poetic work on a much thought about subject by anyone aging. Strange how inside we are ageless, but one look in the mirror and our own lack of immortality slaps us dead in the eye. Art choice is perfect for theme. Great work.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are indeed ageless in the mind.

Excellent

I agree with your notes 100%, Jaq, and that's why I RARELY check out the mirror - though I have one of those circus distorting ones which is quite complimentary, LOL.

Best not to think about it too much.

Sadly but skillfully put.

Particularly good slant rhyme in 'drawn/gone'.

Best wishes, Ray

Thanks Ray I try not to ponder lost youth too much. Sometimes it just creeps up on you and gives you a jolt. LOL! I'm with you about the mirror. Thanks for your review. :) Jaq x

p.s. Can I borrow the circus mirror? LOL
