Notice of absence from Poetic Licence
Now is the time.
Now is the time.
Wise Man Say (22).
If you keep looking back
You will never see what
Is in front of you.
Wise Man Say.
Do not beat around
The Bush
Trim it instead.
Wise Man Say.
If you fear the
Dark.
Do not hide in the
Cupboard.
Wise Man Say.
We are all born with
A voice.
Do not condemn yours too
A lifetime of
Silence.
Wise Man Say
Remember you are not
Different.
You are an individual.
Wise Man Say.
Mistakes can be a positive
Thing.
But only if you learn
From them.
Tobani April 2025.

Most welcome
Love it, Tobani.
Thank you Jerry for your feedback, enjoy the rest of your day
Wow! 22 instalments already! Now that's more than just a bit of fun... more like serious FUN!
Doesn't time fly, Thank you for your continued following of the old codgers ramblings, enjoy the rest of your day
Why are these wise men always hiding on YouTube but you never see them in real life! Ah well............
A question I wonder and cannot answer, Thank you for reading my ramblings it is very much appreciated, these are every Sunday
You know how much I love this series, Tobani. In this one, the line about not condemning your own voice really stood out. We all do that, though, don't we? At least I have been known too...outside of poetry, of course...and even there for a time. Wise advice. Truly, an excellent job, my dear friend. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
We are guilty of that one, I find that strange because the voice is the most powerful thing we have.Thank you for your continued following of the Old codgers ramblings, enjoy the rest of your day
Love it
Thank you Tony, enjoy the rest of your day
You're welcome
You're too fun and too clever, offering poignant tidbits of good sense in morsels which seem not unlike the "spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down!" doctrine. Excellently rendered with lovely imagery and a delightful humour to offset the weightier poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
What do you mean humour, I was trying to be a serious old man!!, thank you for your kind words, hope you have a fantastic week
You likewise. Well, I thought they were laced excellently with a sense of humor/humour.
Thank you
Well said, my friend, have a beautiful day.
Thank you, have a wonderful week
Thoroughly enjoyed reading that
Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day
