Vera Duggan Poet Sonnet

A Granny I Might Be

A granny I might be

A granny I might be
But I can always see
My hair is growing grey
My shape is quite okay

I still love my fashion
I guess it’s still my passion
I always look quite smart and dressy
And very rarely I look messy.

I’m older, but I'm still a lassie
Sometimes me, I do look classy
I would not change a single day
Not ever, not in any way.

How the years they will turn out
Well who knows, I’ll wait that out.

Vera Duggan 13 September 2014

Vera Duggan October 13, 2014 at 7:48 PM Michael my dear friend, I hope you are getting better, thank you for reading this poem, yes I also think us grannies are looking younger these days, I remember when my mum was my age she looked so old, No way do I want to look old like her so I do my best to take care of myself and I do have a very young mind, take care my friend.........Vera............

J. R. Corbin September 25, 2014 at 10:04 AM You got it, Vera. Old age is not for sissies, I always say, but if you ever get old you will still be classy. ;) Vera Duggan September 26, 2014 at 8:30 PM Jim thank you so much, I try to keep as young as I can and I have a daughter and daughters in law who keep me young, they don't want a mother who is a dowdy old bag, even my mind is young and I am quite lucky as I have great genes, take care my friend.............Vera...........

Paul Callus September 21, 2014 at 5:01 AM Hi Vera! Enjoyed this very much. Nowadays grannies are so busy with looking after grandchildren that they do not have time to get old:)...on the contrary they are kept young and active. Have a nice day and take care. // paul Vera Duggan September 22, 2014 at 2:24 AM Hi Paul, thank you so much for taking the time to read, this is one granny that doesn't look after her grandies. they live too far away, mind you we do have one living with us but his mother looks after him and anyway I don't feel old, I try to keep myself young by keeping up with the latest fashions, have a great day and take care my friend.............Vera............

Robert Lindley September 15, 2014 at 9:03 PM A granny? I thought Peter said you were not a day over 30! A truly beautiful sonnet my friend.. BBRAVO!!!!! Vera Duggan September 19, 2014 at 12:44 AM Oh Robert I wish, but then when I think about it in this world today, no I am glad I am the age I am, thank you my friend for the lovely comment, please give my love to Riza and Justin and take care.............Vera............

Ilene Bauer September 13, 2014 at 7:27 PM ha! i'm sure you are "still a lassie," vera and i very much enjoyed this poem. as a granny myself, i know just how you feel... Vera Duggan September 14, 2014 at 7:36 PM Wish I was Ilene, but I really don't think old, I look at my 96 year old mother and even she doesn't look her age, maybe it is in our genes, sometimes I still feel like I am in my 40's but I know I am not, I just have to look at my brood of grandchildren to know that, thank you for the lovely comment my dear, take care.........Vera...........

Anne-Lise Andresen September 13, 2014 at 6:45 AM - Grannies do not look old today ..... a enjoyable poem to read Vera - (I, grandmother of 4: 17+15+14+10) - Have a lovely weekend! - oxox // Anne-Lise :) Vera Duggan September 14, 2014 at 7:23 PM I agree Anne Lise grannies do seem to stay young these days, I think maybe it is the fashions that keep us going because I do love all these young clothes that girls are wearing and the make up that they have out now, not that I wear any, everyone always says that I don't look my age, mind you sometimes I do feel it, my grandies range from 5 to 18 and there are seven of them, thank you for reading my dear and take care.........Vera......

Jan Allison September 13, 2014 at 4:18 AM Peter loves you just the way you are - lovely poem Vera:-) Hugs Jan xxx Vera Duggan September 14, 2014 at 7:19 PM Hi Jan thank you for that, if he doesn't love me the way I am the tough Lol. Sometimes I wish I were older but I do like being and old granny Take care my dear............Vera.............
