Spent is so often a looking to the past, but this poem has adamant about no “backward glance,” and is, indeed, all in future tenses.

Love the language in this. It does feel like a classic 👏

Nice one. I bet that was fun ? to write - I like a good sonnet.

Cleverly done. The form gives it gravity.

So elegantly written, Mike--classic and heartfelt.
