Third place on Contest 'Get into the conversation '

By Eve Roper

LONE LADY At corner of room sitting on a stool, Lone lady leisurely knitting wool. Has society left her as old fool ? May be her hobby or just time to pass. Nothing to do in senior status. Last phase running idle, oblivious. Enjoyed life, completed her duties. Too tough just to drag dull life in eighties. Now her life runs without activities. Received appreciation at random Always engaged to work in broad spectrum. Once no scope left to feel little boredom. Now all achievements turned obsolete. In new era seemed herself most unfit. Depression continuing ! How to defeat ? Feeling sick being without family. Failing to overcome melancholy. Kids far away! No way, staying lonely. Pic 2. Old woman knitting.

Namaste, Anisha! Ah, the ills and cures beyond the prescribed interventions by any doctor's enabling can resolve. I like the path you've described in Eve's portrait and your winning placement, my friend! Aloha, William.

Instead of kniting I see poetry being writen. I see excuses. I see a few things this poem makes me think.

Very poignant and heartfelt write this is. Absolutely loved this! The flow and rhymes and the melancholic imagery too. Brilliant word weaving. Your rhymes are so good
