I always enjoy a good story my dearest Betty... One with a beginning , a middle and an ending...sort of like my Forevermore poem about my own death. Really liked it...Yes, when ones time is up...
Being confined by age is such a sad thought... we all need to strive to be content in the end...
Life is so very very short...
How are you feeling...how is your shoulder.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review; yes life is short… my shoulder is coming along slowly; PT twice a week ( and sore after!) this is a long haul!
I hope you are stable with your knee… getting old isn’t fun! All the best to you!

A wonderful allegorical write where the character in the poem literally returns to the earth from which he came. He seems resigned to his demise and is happy to be with the forest he loves so much and the little animals who live within it. We all fall and rise so many times in our lifetime, dear Betty, we go on for as long as we can, but acceptance of the inevitable comes towards the end. You have captured that acceptance so finely in his final words. You narrate the story of the old gentleman superbly, Betty. I like this poem very much, though of course, there is a touch of sadness within it also. Wonderful poem! Thank you for sharing, Betty...

This is excellent use of layered metaphor. It is also literally true in my case as I have recently been supplied with two new knees and I am not allowed to kneel or fall over if I am alone. Excellent work.

As one currently dealing with knee tendonitis, I could identify with this one. I am not in as tenuous shape as the speaker, but such a condition can remind you of your mortality.
My love of poetry results from my love of art. As a painter I am able to express myself on a canvas. As a poet my words come from my heart, my moods, sometimes sad, mostly upbeat. I like to use vivid .. more..
