exquisite Sijo! Loved the imagery...and your last line was perfect and a subtle but meaningful match for the previous lines. Well done!

A fantastic poem, Chetta. The older I get the more I realize you are right, youth is wasted on the young.

Or as Johnny Cash sang "When I've learned enough to really live I'll be old enough to die!"
