Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Seguidilla - 2

I try to take a selfie,
but it saddens me!
The face from my good old days
I no longer see.
“A Wrinkle in Time"
could be MY cover's title
now I’m past my prime!

Sept. 14, 2017 For the  Seguidilla Contest of nette onclaud

Inspired by line 2: I can smile at the old days ; I was beautiful then.
(and also by the famous novel title: A Wrinkle in Time)

James Inman September 18, 2017 at 9:49 PM What do you mean was! Andrea Dietrich September 19, 2017 at 7:30 PM That "was" was part of the quote that inspired my poem!! I'm gonna look into the use of fillers. wrinkles near my mouth are really bringing me down!

Sara Kendrick September 18, 2017 at 7:18 AM Reads like a great contender for the contest..Don't worry about the wrinkles remember that you have earned each one of them..I enjoyed reading your work..I am not familiar with this form so I need to look into it..I might make me some notes in my poetry journal and try to write through the days ahead..Sara

Jean Murray September 14, 2017 at 6:07 PM I so dislike photos of me now. That damn camera should lie don't you think Andrea? Best of luck in the contest. Andrea Dietrich September 14, 2017 at 8:50 PM It's very curious, JEan. I can't take a good selfie and yet SOME pictures of me turn out when taken by other people. When even THOSE stop turning out, I'll know it's truly the end!!!
