‘Time has piled up like overdue bills’ - what a line. Wry & it lands like truth told in the pub after one too many. This whole piece is brilliantly unvarnished. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #Transitions

Thank you Alan. Your reading is astonishingly accurate. It’s like we’ve spent time in the same pubs!

This is delightful! Totally loved it! And here I’m wishing if I were younger and back in school 😅

Haha -that’s ace Dave. I think I’ve spent more time wanting to be older than I have wanting to be younger.

Thanks, Mike. It’s kind of a bell curve of wanting, I reckon 😂

Quietly profound Dave. So many lovely images within. Bravo!

Love this: I got my wish though - I got older. A wish-come-true that can ironically turn on us and eat its own tail. A great #poemsabout #transition Thank you! @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

Thank you Karen. It’s a real case of ‘be careful what you wish for’…

karenpgonzalez.bsky.social•2 days ago

Indeed!

How we wish our lives away rather than recognise that what we consider the transitional states are the thing itself. Great reflection on this Dave

Thank you, Paul. Wasn’t it John Lennon who said: ‘Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.’?
