it’s not criminal to think back on one’s life…. even if you were a criminal… it always better to think of oneself as a model for the younger generation to ascribe to that… to give good examples….. i like the way you created this senryu …. it makes you think!

Hi this is powerful. Any hurt to children or youth is indeed theft and criminal

theft of the innocent is a crime, and we don't know it is happening but with age comes wiseness , too late for some who are damaged .

What's the example: When I was a boy, I thought my father was a genius. When I was a young man, I thought I was the genius. When I was a father I tried to be a genius-type man. Now old I happily accept the fact that I had been a very a human being who tried his best - and told I near enough succeeded ! Perhaps we should start at the finish and do better as humans and for the planet?!

So short yet so identifiable. Life seems backwards somehow. Deprived of age's wisdom in youth and having it latter when it is not needed, the same for wealth. Why did I not have it when I needed it with children to support, now it just rots.

When we are young we believe we know everything there is to know. As we age, we realize that was not the case at all....but time is a thief and now that we are in the "golden" years, we can not do some of the things we want. Interesting senyru, E. Lydi**

It could be worse E... you could be far less wiserly, just like me be!
Life is way more confusing the older I get. I mean, for breakfast I had crunchy nut cornflakes yesterday. It said on the box " just pour milk, but it started leaking right through the cardboard before I was finished!
Now I know they meant put them in a bowl and just add milk, so I guess i am wiser today than yesterday at least! 😀

I'm like .. did I fall asleep for 3 or so hrs??? looked outside it was pitch black ... in reality when I thought it was 5 AM on Sat. it was really 11 something on Fri. Fortunately for me I was able to get back to sleep in spite of the two cups of coffee :)))))))) we are just prone to such things but, for me, those "mistakes" in my youth were far worse .. luv on ya bro!

this is one of them subtle as a thrown brick near haiku thingies innit .. & so deceiving, bigger than it looks by far and punching well above its weight .. brevitas, succinctus superbus n all that jazz with a few bells n whistles thrown in for good measure .. I say's we woz both robbed .. if only the others could see it too .. Neville :))))) 😎👍
This morning as I began to log in to WC, it occurred to me what an inspiring and comfortable place this has become for me.
There are so many talented people sharing, encouraging, teaching and learni.. more..
