It is difficult to judge this contest when a super mod writes such a great poem. I have read this 3 times and I have read all 31 poems nominated this week twice. I have to be sure that this is my second favourite poem this week and it is. There is always that nagging doubt that because he is a mod I like his poem and I am sure the mods think this as well. But I can be sure that I have picked this for the right reasons. Larry's poem takes us back in time season by season and not only gives us a snapshot of his journey but gives us all a subtle reminder that time skips by whether we choose to make the most of every day or whether we standstill and watch it race by. A poem extremely well crafted and I am thankful it was shared. (7 points)
