Hi Sum 1, I'm still reviewing and I just found your "Before I Go" on Read and Review. Here are my thoughts.

First impression At 82 years of age, the title of your poem is a phrase, I and so many of my peers ponder quite often. Curious what your thoughts are on the subject.

Frame A poem written in 5 quatrains, each made up of 2 rhymed couplets. Lines are similar length with Accentual Verse, 4 stresses per line. No syllabic or metric patterns.

Texture, rhythm, word choice, and sonics. The poem read fluidly out loud because of the cadence of everyday language. The poem moves from the narrator's personal struggles with running out of time, to addressing the needs of another. This is a love poem.

Suggestions No technical errors jump out at me and as usual with this poet, I can see no way in which I could offer improvement.

Overall This is a skillfully written poem with content that touches this reader's heart. The poem is beautiful.
