I am also an old man and I can understand feelings of another old man. A touching poem.
A wonderful piece of work! My great pleasure reading it time and again! To MyPoemList
(cont.) ** Definition of club together British : to combine the money of the individuals in a group (in order to pay for something) bri ;) p.s. as has happened to me before, after sending my comments as a message, i tried again to send as comments and no name was asked for. i had NO PROBLEM! ....yet.
warm regards.I don't notice 'club together' - anywhere. can you point out?
i just read your responses to my earlier comments, which i would not have seen if i hadn't forgotten i'd already read this 'title'. thanks. and, YES, a software problem on PH, ....unless individual humans are editing each poem with pencil and some of them are being nasty! ha ha. i've learned to put up with the deleting and 'clubbing' **. i would perhaps use 'clumping'. (cont.)
Thank you for bringing this sorry plight to our attention.

I would like to translate this poem
(continued) .. i'll know if you tell me in a message; i don't usually return to a poem's page and see responses. i bet PH is responsible for wa tching having a space in the word [watching]; otherwise i'd think you'd slipped into some Chinese wording. i'd like to understand the reason behind putting in all the 'periods'. to MyPoemList. bri :)
