Robert Gorelick Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Happy Nows Now

Your fountain of youth has dried up at last
Your poor sullen spirit now flies at half mast
Me, I'm thankful and warm
I've survived the long storm
And happy now's now and the past is the past

I Am Anaya December 19, 2022 at 5:41 PM You've aged with a philosophical outlook, consider yourself blessed Robert, some don't. Good one! Robert Gorelick December 31, 2022 at 3:14 PM I agree, the fountain of youth is as dull as paint, Methuselah is my patron saint!

M. L. Kiser December 17, 2022 at 4:15 PM Haha, oh to find that fountain of youth. Well done. Robert Gorelick December 19, 2022 at 11:39 AM Somehow, I believe that your spirit has discovered the secret of eternal youth! Thank you, ML!
