Better Days

All those people who are obsessed with being young forever have no idea about the natural process of aging with grace. It's inevitable for all of us, so there's no point in getting a panic attack over it.

Nicely written, Jade, as usual.

That’s wonderful to embrace what this piece is about.  It came to me in such a peaceful way, sustaining that mindset throughout the rest of the morning as I composed.

Thank you, dearest Shazz one.

Beautifully written Jade.  You make each repeated line seem fresh in the context of each stanza.  Love the flow, the rhyme.  Excellent!

Oh gosh, thank you so much, my crowfly friend, & for the RL honor.

As soon as I first learned of the Quatern form, I loved it immediately.  And with this piece, I was in a kind of state of grace, if that makes sense.

~Jadey

That last verse brings the poem to great completion - yet leaves the scene open for the imagination to run. Love it.

Most gracious thanks to you, Josh, for sharing your thoughts with me on the impact of this piece, and for the honor of place.

Another fine read,  Ms. Jade.

Why thank you, Andy.

( you’re up late )

Or I got up way to early.

How wonderfully evocative...

How I would love to have a cup of tea with you?

Thank you, dear tommy, for your companionship, and the trilogy honor.

“Your wistful nod, the history of me”

That’s one loaded line.
Also, the italics is a very nice touch; it’s a perfect frame for the atmosphere of serenity you build up throughout. You scaled this like a pro

Thank you, Taurus, for your thoughtful take & express on what seems a merely simple piece.✍🏻

Thank you, Jarlath, for feeling the pleasure... surely from the afterglow I experienced, being the poet who knew it at the completion of the write.

"To join you in a lover’s reverie,
I sit, you watch me from a distant haze.
We slowly bow our heads to sip some tea
In Dresden cups that have seen better days."

always love it dearest...you are such a sensual writer...the mind can react thus

love
Jeff

Thank you, Jeff. That’s so good of you to share with me. I’ve always been a more instinctual writer of the sensual rather than the more obvious erotic.

A gorgeous work, Jade, with imagery and vivid metaphor that swept me up into your moment.  
Love your poetic voice in this one, so soothingly smooth a syntactic flow in spot-on iambic pentameter (except, V1 L2: make it "memory" to bring it into proper count and meter).  
The French Quatern is a very enjoyable form, and you've done a lovely job of it … thank you ever-so warmly for sharing your excellent skills! ⁓ Richard : )

Thank you, Richard, that’s kind of you to go into detail your observation of this poem. I adore writing the Quatern ever since I first learned of it only earlier this year. I took to it immediately.

I’m glad you could hear the soothing aspect of my poet’s voice, as the intention of it throughout.

with gracious regards
~Jade

I serve thee humbly, with great joy. 🍃
