  This poem is true but I'm 66 and I still don't get any knocks on the door that leaves me kneeling on the floor and I do play solitaire.

  What a powerful and thought-provoking poem! The emotions and experiences of the lonely man at 65 are conveyed with such raw honesty and authenticity. The realization of the truth about superficial relationships and the longing for genuine connection are themes that resonate deeply. The imagery of the beauty queens and the solitude of playing solitaire strike a chord with the reader. The words flow beautifully, drawing us into the lonely man's world and making us empathize with his journey. This poem is a testament to the power of introspection and self-awareness. Well done! more »
