thriveni c mysore Poet Triolet

Neonate to Dotage

“Age merely shows what children we remain.” 
- Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
---------------------------------------------------
charmingly weak, weakly charming
begins life, begins cessation
toothless smile, baby breath, wobbling
charmingly weak, weakly charming
true babyhood, true senescence
depending, needy, demanding
charmingly weak, weakly charming
begins begin, begins ending
