Columbus thought you might drop off the edge. Now you fly straight up, eh. Your poem brought out this stroke of my genius. Hardy harr, harr. Love, daver

This is great, Andrea. So nice how all the components of time fit so nicely into the syllable counts! I can feel life go by with your words! 7+Fav. I know this will be a top one for the contest. Hugs, Sandra

News flash my poetic friend, the older you get the faster it turns, days become minutes, months become a week, years turn into a few months, decades become a couple years.Yesterday I held my sons in my hands, today I hold their daughters...so fast..so fast...good luck in the contest..and yes life is wonderful...

of course I know that, Frederic. That is why I wrote the poem. My oldest grandson already has passed me up in height!!
