"4. You are making an unfair comparison. If 20 year old mel had the same tool set she would probably write the pants off you.
Try comparing some famous poets' "post 40 work" to their early work and you will see it isn't even a fair comparison."
MEH~!~~~~
I have to be in my prime because even though I finished college waaaaay early...and was double major in music and nursing....my writing still sucked.
Approximately in age I'm around 78.....so yeah well possibly in my prime as you say, I've learned much over the years.
My brain was way better back then.
My poetry, probably not.
