First of all,I love the title of this poem
Its well written,Your message is very clearly conveyed
I love what you written here
But wrinkles I did not see any and looking at your
Face I could see a very kind and helpful soul
Filled with love,
Your poem is very deep and very honest
And just beautiful a poet full of wisdom
Oh yes also very attractive!!
Love And Peace to you always
your friend...Morning Star

Fee,
You seem to have aged tastefully as that wine. Obvious you are a proud man. Husband, Father, Grandfather, most of all a dear friend to each of us here. That demon, give him h...., speak your mind. Loved the poem.

You'll have to set up a "no demon" zone around you at night so a smile will find it's way to your face again. It's a good write and the honest look at ourselves at this age. Finding things to wake the spirit to the dance brings many things to mind, I simply haven't figured out it all out yet. Yet working on it. Smile more, worry less, what ever will be, will make it someday. Enjoyed the write. Lady J

I love both the humility and the honest appraisal in this self-portrait, Felix. No humbug here. And, as such, it touches us deeply with its threads of celebration and pensiveness. Honour the questions, savour the journey... You've only just begun and have so much yet to give and to fulfill. Keep wrestling... that's how you know you're alive! :)) And not bad???? Pretty darn good, I'd say... I've got over my 50-hump from last week and have to say, it's not as bad as I thought it would be 50 years and 4 days on... A stout and noble heart are you, and all things true. You wear your medals well! :)) Onwards and upwards, Darlin... LOL K xx

My dad taught me, and often said, if you like what you see when you look into the mirror then you're a good person. I'm glad you like what you see and this is a great poem. The last line ends it perfectly. Well done dear Fee. And, you truly are a good friend.
Hugs,
Marcia

This is a great challenge to us poets, to try and do this kind of self-criticism - in rhyme! I'm not sure many of us could succeed. Well done!

Your Self Portrait is Outstanding!!! Wow, did you put it all out there. I believe that this was a hard write because it is so hard to describe yourself. It's deep, it's fun and it's so you.

I'd say it's a most excellent portrait. "Reaching out to others shows that you have become one with yourself." Excellent write.

You write well, saying with a few words what you are and was but yet too young to imagine the wisdom that many years into the future will mellow you into a letter's giant.
