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? ------------------------------------------ Picture 1 ~ Rhyme scheme: ABBaCCA Make it Seven Poetry Contest Sponsor: Joseph May Placed 1st © 11th October 2019

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)

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. Warm regards and hugs Jenny. Good luck in the contest
