I Am Anaya Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

*Someone one of late said that the way of a kind poet with integrity is one with tender and gentle poetry.  I say if they are a hater of others, then...they are a tender genteel hater!  LOL. Do we all have a little narci in us? That is the question.  :)

Too Old To Be A Narci!

When beauty’s gone bye bye and slack flesh becks
            Jowls, crow’s feet, graveled voice and turkey necks             
Too old to be a narcissist
what’s left is a pacifist
*Tender genteel haters do not make good peaceniks!

I Am Anaya August 6, 2025 at 9:16 PM Rowena, it delights me to see you laughing! Y e s! Exactly, if we can't laugh at ourselves we're in a dire condition, Ty, dear poetess.

Abdullah Alhemaidy August 5, 2025 at 5:43 PM Interesting read! "turkey necks" I liked it. However, not against anyone. I Am Anaya August 5, 2025 at 8:00 PM Nothing against narcissist 's either. Anaya Narci! ; )
