STAGES OF LIFE

 

 

What is it?

I want it.

I’ve got it.

I don’t need it.

What is it?

    I love the title, and the poem itself is thought provoking. You definitely have me thinking, a fine piece written.

    • Michael Edwards

      From the enquiring mind of of the child through to dementia. I've reached the age where I look back and reflect - but I still live for today. Thanks Adam.

      Those wants and needs can so so intriguing but so anonymous.

      BUENAS DIAS TIO MIKE ! Love the picture ~ reminds me of Friends of OURS (Owen & Blodwyn) who always have their SHEEP DOG (also called Fido !) sleeping between them in their bed ! They put Him in the kennels on a Friday Night so Fred gets his conjugal rights ! Love the Poem ~ it has multiresponsitivity. My answer would be *A Bottle of Single Malt when Hogmany is still a Year awa* !*

        Once a week Blodwyn - sounds like a Larry Grayson character. I still laugh every time I think of his postman: pop-it-in-Pete.

            You know Stagey Berles? (bit far fetched name I know!).

            • Michael Edwards

              Actually I do - she married Fred Coach and is now known (wait fior it) as Stagey Coach.

              Hi Michael,

              A good write and thought provoking.

              What do we really want out of life?

              What do we really need.

              Keep writing FineB

                We don't need a lot - just peace - but man isn't like that sadly.

                Very clever and thought provoking.

                Less is more.

              • Fay Slimm.

                So apt to describe the fact that minds change as years fly by my friend. Dementia may threaten yet like you dear Michael I try to live one day at a time.

                • Michael Edwards

                  Dementia? Must look it up - I've forgotten !! lol 😁
