tiny thoughts

Stunning last line. *

Oh, you're vital alright. You've dared to write what most of us soylent seniors have on our minds, but are tap dancing around trying to avoid coming right out and putting into words. Brava.

We have to think we'll fight this thing to the last breath.

Mortality sucks! But not this.*

Thank you, Tim! Ya hanging in there okay?

Thank you, Jenny.

Thank you, Ivan. I was feeling a bit down and started wondering...

True, Kitty, this is a big worry ... Not a tiny one ...

I am good. Feelin' Alright.

*, Kitty. A killer last line:
"I have to keep thinking I'm vital".

Such tight writing, and very good *

You've expressed well what so many of us feel.

Poetry like this strikes a universal chord that is in every heart the same. It is, for me anyway, what poetry should be. Thank you.

Thank you, David.

Thank you, Foster.

Thank you, Bill. It is frightening.

Thank you, James. I do hope my writing strikes a chord somewhere.

Universal and immediate.

You are definitely vital!

Thank you, Dianne.

Thank you, Darryl!

You don't mind dying so much as leaving all these without eyes to see them or hands to tend them, without a shred of context in the world.

Strong work in a small package, Susan. Marvelous.
