Notes About The Poem

Image result for Pictures of sagging upper arms of older women

On a commercial on TV they said that this special cream will get rid of the crepe paper skin..LOL..

Crepe Paper

C rinkley lines upon angel wings
R ippling in air to songs that ring
E ntertain some people as they view
P eevish part of the body fair
E arth bound wings some despair

P alsied shaking covered in summer
A bashed the feelings when wings don't become her
P assable but beauty now flawed
E dwardian dress now applaud
R emember when it happens a bummer

I heard of this cream. I don't know why but it scares me to know this is a real name for skin...Hugs. LINDA

It doesn't happen to everyone..Some women are more muscular which is a good thing..If one gains and looses weight many times it seems to increase this to happen..Certain body types as well..My mother had it really bad...Now my mother's arm comes through my sleeve..LOL..Thanks for stopping by..I appreciate the continued support of my work..Sara
