"The Promise of Youth...That withers with the shriek of time."

Your'e not going through a mid-life crisis, are you Tim?

Come up to Oxford, we'll get you sorted out :-)

Oh no, it's not a personal poem in that sense. It's saying that when you think back on the ideas and potential of your younger self you might feel wistful but the admonishment is that the "now" you is in a much better position to plan your way ahead. Ironic it is, I think, that a mid-life crisis is a sign of immaturity.

Thanks for your offer of hospitality, though. Unfortunately I have 2 exams (where they historically fail about 2/3 of the candidates) in early October and also a new Treasury System to implement at the same time so my foot is nailed to the floor for the next month.

Msr. Visser-

I agree with, and more importantly in poetry, felt something from your words.  Thank you... from a 25-year-old who feels time upon her.

When your whole life is on the tip of your tongue,
empty pages for the no longer young.
