Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

No Reconciling

With age her constitution
Is not what it used to be
She was a lioness in her day
A tigress in her abode
A cougar on the prowl

Bold strong sensual
She had dreams to conquer
Hope stoic that never quivered
Though drenched at times
In the echo of a roar
The years now show

Ruthless and unforgiving
And the dissociation
Is worlds apart
There is no reconciling
That was then and this is now

Timothy Mcguire November 1, 2019 at 8:07 PM I have to say Ill bet that lioness is even more majestic now with her life experiences, love and her desire to create makes her even more sensual than just in the physical sense of years gone by. Wonderful poem. Line Gauthier November 1, 2019 at 9:15 PM What a wonderful comment. A FAVE. LOL

Richard Lamoureux July 5, 2019 at 10:28 AM It seems she is now both Ruthless and Toothless! Time can be cruel as well as just. Line Gauthier July 5, 2019 at 5:29 PM O what a pretty picture you paint, Richard. LOL
