Default Poem of the Moment

The Massachusetts Cultural Council has posted my "Ode to Old Age" as this week's "Poem of the Moment" at the Mass Poetry website:

http://www.masspoetry.org/poemofthemoment5/#pomocarroll

The site has information on how to submit your own work for "Poem of the Moment" consideration. (I submitted back in August, so be prepared for a wait.)

As my cohort and I grow older, I often share Dylan's "Forever Young" as a birthday greeting. For a few select friends, I just might share your fine poem, Chris, as a smile-inducing change-up.

I'm pretty sure I remember it from when you had it in Light, but I'm getting older, so I can't be sure of anything. It's great.
