Your lines made me smile ... do I hear my Dad's voice??

I guess it's not unique ... age is a state of mind, though, I think. I know I'll feel 25 for the rest of my life - and my daughters are 22!!

Excellent Quatrain, Treischei,
As far as I am concerned it is a winner. I hope everybody else agrees. I have those aches and pains too. I cannot say that I enjoyed being reminded of this.

Hi Tom this seems to be double posted - but I decided to reply again because that 2 star is ridiculous!
Double posting is probably a FS glitch:)

I don't know why somebody rated you down as there is absolutely nothing wrong with this quatrain in your chosen rhyme scheme. You are not that old are you?

Needs Improvement

Very good play with syllables,good theme image,great choice of words but lacks in the element of wanting to read again and again

Hmm. The comments don't seem to align with such a harsh rating. I see you are new here. Maybe you don't understand that the rules of the contest limited me to a single quatrain.

Yes i am new and that was my point of view,just an opinion ,sir
