Paul Callus Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Nose In the Air

Is it a sin to lark around
as we refuse to act our age
and dare in antics to engage?
The inner child will not be bound
by those who say we have no class
and poisoned judgement swiftly pass. 
Is it a sin to lark around?

Aqua Marine December 2, 2019 at 4:51 AM Larking around with childlike spontaneity is wonderful! I think as we get older, we stop worrying about what everyone will think of us- a sign of good self esteem, and honest living, Paul! Dont have to prove anything to those with their "noses in the air!" (Carry on larking about! :D Warm regards, AquaM) Paul Callus December 2, 2019 at 9:48 AM Thank you for the lovely, insightful comments, Aqua. This is one of the benefits of old age :) Warm regards // paul

Jennifer Proxenos October 13, 2019 at 10:47 AM Hi Paul, You remind me of Elias and I - we lark around around and why should we not - life is what you make it - if you think old you will age, but if you keep the mind young, and do fun things, how awesome is that - way to go Paul - a lovely pic.
