Notes About The Poem

Written, February 17, 2026
For The Contest, “One On One With Myself”
Sponsor, Nette Onclaud

Prompt: "You meet your younger or older self... what is your poetic response?"

 

Over Sixty Years

     Will I meet you at ninety
just two and one-half years away?
Will the time between now and then
     help encourage me to stay
to gather more fine days beyond
and still share my old heart with love?
     I'm doing my best each day.
