Janice Canerdy Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

         July 1, 2025, entered in Line Gauthier's Bite Size contest 117, placed 1st

***************************************************************************************************

Attitude

When mind and body feel the strain of years,
some hide away, the victims of their fears.

When time grows short and sunset is in view, 
for many, life retains a rosy hue.

A necessary trait for joy-filled life
is optimism, victor over strife.

Ilene Bauer February 8, 2025 at 5:30 PM i like the upbeat outlook of your poem, janice, but it isn't always easy to hold on to the optimism you describe (for me, anyway)... Janice Canerdy February 11, 2025 at 1:13 PM Thanks, Ilene! It's not always easy for me either. I'm trying to "grow into" the theme of my poem! Janice
