Hello Jay,
Here is my member-to-member raid review of "The Discipline of Aging Well" which I picked because I wanted to find something helpful in my own aging journey.

Impressions: The title hooked me because I wanted to know what aging looked like in your experience. The common poetry rhyming scheme first, third and second, fourth never fails to please me.

Suggestion: Take a second look at the two contractions: "wond'ring" and "this'un." They seem out of place and not consistent with the rest of the words in the poem. I think they were shrunk down just to meet the line's syllable count. Perhaps another word with the correct number of syllables would work better. I am not sure what the lines about a QA mean.

I enjoyed reading your take on the aging process and how it impacts lives at a particular stage. I never have to worry about running out of something new to read at your place.
