April 23rd poems
Well, today’s prompt is sympathetic of the fact that time continues its march and that things continue to change and stay the same all at once. Today’s prompt is to write about getting older.
No matter your age, everyone gets older with every. single. second. and. heart. beat. Seriously, even my 4-year-old laments over how he’s getting older and misses the good old days of not going to preschool and having “to learn stuff.”
So, you can lament over your glory days, express your insecurities of being in transition, or brag about how you’re at the perfect age to live life completely content (lucky you). I’m guessing y’all will have a lot of fun with this one.
MEDITATION ON AGING
It is a cliche
April 25th, 2008 at 7:05 amTo say
“The road behind is longer
than the road in front.”
OK. So be it.
But the road in front,
however short or long,
is clear, and clean,
Unsullied with the
potholes of youth
on the road behind.
