Reflections

I laid to rest my “Bucket” list, my “to do” list, rather tattered. At my age, I am second to coexist, my old brain is rather scattered, having forgotten life goals that mattered. For Francine Robert Contest: One English Quintain

Funny thing Debbie, I was having a problem with line 3 so I consulted on line with a panel of professional writers. They suggested this line and said, it was perfectly acceptable, even in formal writing. Because it refers back to the first two line's "bucket list." of which I was originally part. Lol, Made sense tothem. Agape, Moses

Sweet friend, I got a kick out of this poem, but I would advise you to keep the bucket list hand. No matter what life throws in our paths, we need to have goals. YOU are not old. If you think you are, then I am old as well. Awesome entry for Francine's contest and I think this one will delight her. Winning wishes to you. Love, Carolyn
