It’s brilliant, Denise! I see a lot of wisdom in your poem.
Thank you, Miriam 🙂 It’s the good side of aging.
It surely is a positive sign of aging, Denise!
Yes 🙂
There is beauty in wisdom. Lovely poem, Denise!
Thank you, Priscilla 🙂 Yes, a lot of beauty.
A lot to think about, Denise.
Always, Jacqui 🙂
I’m smiling now, I used the same words as synonyms! Thanks Nature for the subtle changes! Lovely poem!
Oh, wow! Now I’m smiling too 🙂 Thank you, Elizabeth.
So much meaning in so few words.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
Hugs
Why I love haikus so much. Thanks, Sandra. Happy Valentines Day.
Lovely, Denise, and your image choice is perfect. “Sprouting our wisdom…” so true. ❤️
Thank you, Gwen 🙂 It is a true gift of age.
Lovely work, Denise.
Thanks, Staci 🙂
A nice one, Denise..
Thank you, Joan 🙂

Ahh. Wisdom filled. And I LOVELOVELOVE your synonyms 😘 😉 👏 🤗
Thank you, Selma 🙂 We had good words to work with.
I love that image Denise and your haiku sounds perfectly crafted.
Thank you, Balroop. It was fun adding the words in and then finding that image
Nicely done, Denise! My daily devotions have been centered around wisdom this week!
It took a long time for us to get the wisdom about climate change, Denise. I think we’re past the point where we can change it now. Good capture of the words. 💜
Skilled wordsmithing. So true!
This is a purely lovely poem, Denise. Hugs.
PS: I’d love to see a time travel story from you (as mentioned in your other post).
Thank you, Teagan 🙂 I drew a blank with that story. I couldn’t wrap my head around going back to change something … lol
Wisdom definitely grows as we age! Nice one, Denise. X
Yes it does, Marje 🙂 Thank you xo
Pleasure, Denise. X
A lovely senryu, Denise. It’s a subtle process, isn’t it? And yet the time seems to flash by. 🙂 <3
Thanks, Diana 🙂 Yes, it sure does!
Funny how it suddenly all fits together. (K)
Yes it sure does!
Splendid.
Thank you, Jude 🙂
And we are gaining more wisdom as time goes on! Brava!
Yes! The more the better 🙂
And then on other days I feel as if I could use more!
Denise, that is indeed how life goes, in my experience at least! <3
Sincerely,
David
Ah… that shift from when we finally see our parents as humans… and then we become our parents…
🙂
Yes, there is a definite shift and hopefully we’ve learned something from them.
