Limber Seniors

Yoga positions
pretzel launching pad, painful
crowd wilts from fitness

senior endurance
festiness charges living
folks uncurl, relieved

This is so interesting ! You have blasted a myth that yoga is good for senior citizens. Pretzel positions are too much for their age and painful too. A wonderful senryu

Hi Valsa. Thank you for your message + stop by.. The piece is a bit of tongue in cheek. It pokes some fun at senior fitness, which I still believe in + follow. Best wishes, Brian
