Jean Murray Poet Acrostic

LOOSER SKINS

L ooking forward to 
O lder age.
O overjoyed to have
S survived this long.
E ven though former
R avishing body gone.

S kin once taut now
K inda hanging on but
I nside I'm going strong.
N ever felt so complete.
S eventies now seem sweet.

Manmath Dalei September 1, 2026 at 5:43 AM Dear Jean, You penned well, I liked it. Jean Murray September 1, 2026 at 11:07 AM Hello Manmath. Thank you. My gift has gone but I do have one I wrote for my daughter recently I will post soon. Nowadays my emotions need to be very heightened to make me want to express them in this fashion. Nice to hear from you.

Joanna Daniel March 2, 2026 at 5:47 AM Hi Jean, glad to see you back writing:) hope you are doing good, old age notwithstanding:) Jean Murray March 2, 2026 at 8:19 AM Hi Joanna. I wrote this for a good friend who spoke those words with regard to aging. She is undergoing treatment for facial melanoma and her positive outlook blows me away. Thank you for your visit to my first effort in a long time .
