The Breadth Of Life

Dandelion clocks we called them as kids, supposedly the number of blows could tell you roughly the time lol
Fabulous write I really loved that, thanks for the memory beautiful

Dear BV,

An absolutely amazingly awesome timeline from cradle to grave and each period of life with their own special characteristic. Reading this drove home how quickly each of these phases last and how there’s no going back. I’m quite melancholy from the reflection this write has provided for me. Outstanding poem. I wish you the best for this comp. it’s fabulous.

Hey Honoria :)

It's lovely to see and hear from you... I missed you and hope you are doing well, my dear 🙏🏻 - 💙

I have been in a sadder frame of mind for a bit so that melancholy feel must have seeped in. Nothing too heavy just blah... lol.... I thank you for reading, the generous list add and all your lovely kind words of support and encouragement.... I am reminded of my good luck and fortune that I receive such amazing feedback from you. I wholeheartedly appreciate it and never take it for granted.... it means so much to me.  

Much love and respect,

Hey there, ethan :)

I hope you are doing well, it's nice seeing you 🦋

I really like where your mind took you, while reading...I can wholly understand that and see that notion clearly... I am definitely hoping that with advancing age comes the value of wisdom....because I definitely know that your body itself starts to take it's hits... somewhere along the lines between your late 30s and early 40's...lmao.... bouncing back becomes increasingly more difficult.... @ 48, I am still amazed at how my mind feels like I'm still in my youth and then I wake up and roll out of bed.... and in seconds, I remember... "Oh yeah, not so much!" ... lol.... Cherish it while you can!

I'm glad you enjoyed the 'dandelion clock' of sorts.....it's always nice to read your insights - 🌹

Smiles and well wishes ✨ 💫 ✨

Nicely penned B ... like the pairing with the photo ... nice couplets ... like how you experimented ... it turned out really well ... the final line tucked in the lower right corner was brilliant ...

My umpteenth attempt at a visual poem!! hahaha ... I swear I can never quite get them... I practice and try yet again.... it's the only way to learn....

I really appreciate your thoughtful comments, LilD ... It's what popped into my mind when going through pictures for the comp... the dandelion image struck me.... and the words came... I'm so grateful for the list add and your feedback.... it's always nerve-wracking to publish something that you are experimenting with... I sigh in relief.... :)

Thank you—

All my warmest regards,

Dear, Lady Blue
A beautifully composed, concise summation of a life. I would say human life but I believe animals face some of these emotions  as well. Completely identifiable fodder for ponder. Beavissima, goddess BB🐻💞🐰

Thanks, BB... I am happy to see you and completely delighted that you enjoyed reading my little comp piece... I appreciate you, the generous list add and all your lovely kindness... 🐻 💞 🐰
Be well and enjoy your weekend...

The dandelion metaphor of windblown memories that seek a place in my heart tonight. Through your poem, they have found that home. And I am most grateful to you for taking me back to a time that I long with all my heart to be.

I loved that you felt the visual along with the poetry.... I have been trying to improve my visual poetry and hopefully this that, an improvement, I mean!! My heart sings that you found the tender tinge of nostalgia and small sweetness that I was hoping you try and evoke...
All my heartfelt gratitude, John ✨

Well done.
