Constance La France Decrepit contest 6/5/2025

Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge, and the longer you are on earth the more experience you are to get. --L. Frank Baum The Wizard of Oz Designed to stain the credibility of soul. Eager to kick down the road, the sage. Conclusion, that wrinkles and scents, Regardless of impact, don’t matter. Eager to pretend that youthfulness won’t fade. Progeny was in those creaky bones. Icy, the feelings of the crowd; God sees Tottering old fools as roots, not weeds.

Love the last 2 lines! Make that 3 lol...fav line is, "Progeny was in those creaky bones." What a wonderful way to put it. That's one of the many things I adore about poetry... finding new ways to look at redundant things...new perspective. This acrostic is fantastic! Xo

From the look of others comments, that final line is striking a chord with everyone! Way to go!

Interesting take on 'Decrepit,' Kim. Restores a measure of dignity to a woe-begotten word. Nice. ~ Gershon
