active days to idle phase

ran endless work load, 'taking rest', not allowed. no time to get bored. worked in broad spectrum , self confidence: the fulcrum. dynamism to beat drum. went always creative. all along fully active till seventy -five. busy scheduled hours to face ruthless truth to drag dull days of last phase. endless time ! no work past achievements lost meaning but to ruminate. frolic flowing stream stuck in shallow stagnant pool in senile decay.

Dear Anisha, your series of senryu poems beautifully encapsulates the transition from active days to an idle phase, reflecting on the journey from a bustling life to moments of reflection and contemplation. The progression from a relentless workload to a newfound sense of indolence and the realization of the fleeting nature of time is palpable in your words. I loved your exploration of priorities, past achievements, and the preservation of cherished memories of the value of introspection and the passage of time. Your poetry is both evocative and thought-provoking, inviting readers to reflect on their own journey through active days to the idle phase. - Blessings, Daniel

Thanks for your valuable comments, I feel honoured. Actually I always feel shaky being unable to express clearly what I mean to say. Yet I am trying to continue writing English poetry.
