Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Monorhyme

Life Was Just To Play

When I was young and wanted to get away

On the muddy fields I walked every single day

Because was not fun for me at home long to stay 

Since to my older siblings, usually, I fell prey 

Running and jumping and playing with clay

Was much of a delight and made me so gay 
   

True then was that the only thing I had to pray
 
Days to be clear and none of them to be gray 

Thus patiently waited the coming of month May

For it was so wonderful, didn’t wish it to delay 


Now that I am very old and ready to decay 

Because my interior organs are all in disarray 

Difficult is for me to walk and impossible is to play

But if I decide to do so, I will be ...on my way!*

Anne-Lise Andresen May 20, 2016 at 1:16 PM - If you lose the ability to play my dear friend, then you lose the joy in life ..... when an artist stops play, he can not create art - but when one gets a little older means "play" more that life are moving :)) - A wonderful poem, a 7 - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Demetrios Trifiatis May 20, 2016 at 2:03 PM My dearest, Sunshine, this was just a Monorhyme and nothing more! I am all functional, thank God for that! Yes, I have different interests than before but still in very good health. A gift from our Lord. Thank you so much! Hugs!
