Ageless Sphinx

Sphinx is ageless, She’s stood the test of time; But, not without scars. Her visage bears the worst scars; Unkind to her is time; It pays no attention to age. Though there is power in time; It can’t fully heal her scars. Still, Sphinx can be proud to not look her real age. Time may heal but, ages of scars, takes quite awhile.

Good tritina. I have seldom written in that form but I recall it was not so easy.

It's easier than a Sestina; I'm always worried that the sestina is too long for some subjects so, I will try a Tritina instead. Thanks.

I always think sphinx is proud, and I want her to look exactly this way forever!

Yes, I hate the erosion to her but, like everyone and everything else; she can't age without a few scars.
