Emile Pinet Poet Diminished Hexaverse

And So It Begins

And so it begins:
you start slowing down
muscles atrophied
your sight starts to blur
and dreams drift away.

Your hair is grey:
you wear false teeth,
you've gaining weight
and cannot sleep.

You're grouchy
and can't hear.
All telltale

signs you're
growing

old.

Caren Krutsinger February 9, 2019 at 11:05 AM A wonderful diminished hexaverse, my friend. It made so much sense I did not realize it was a diminished hexaverse until I got to the last three words. Good luck in Line's contest. Emile Pinet February 9, 2019 at 11:18 AM Thanks Caren, I appreciate it my friend, Emile.
