Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman
What happened to the me I knew
back in the bloom of girlish youth 
I wonder where the years have gone
when I still feel just twenty one.

My hair's now fifty shades of grey 
was a brunette back in the day
Wonder where these wrinkles come from 
yesterday I’m sure I had none.

I wonder where I've left my watch     
the damn thing has gone and got lost
Wonder where did I put my specs 
why is it that I soon forget.

Where on earth's my bottle of gin
where’s the glass that I put it in
I’m sure that they're somewhere around 
oh why is it they can’t be found.

I bought a lottery ticket
but I’m unable to find it
If it won I’d be reminded
in language not of the kindest.

Feels as if I’m swimming through fog 
the mechanics of my mind clog
All I ask is please do not shout
given time I will work things out.

A bit forgetful is allowed
I’m Wonder Woman - and so proud.

Robert Pettit March 28, 2021 at 1:13 PM These days, I get feelings that are quite similar to the ones you have described here so well. Nice write. Beryl Edmonds March 28, 2021 at 4:32 PM Thank you Robert, everybody forgets sometimes, if you laugh about it you forget about it... Belle

Jennifer Proxenos March 26, 2021 at 10:42 AM I LOVE THIS POEM! It explains a great deal of what many of us are - you forgot keys, I loose them all time and time again, and when I want to drive somewhere in a hurry and can't find them, I get into such a flurry! Good thing that I remember my destination! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Beryl Edmonds March 26, 2021 at 11:22 AM Hi Jennifer, another one with forgetery, not to worry it happens to us all at times. Thank you! Bless you, hugs ~ Belle

Richard Lamoureux March 23, 2021 at 11:34 AM This was such fun to read. Well done Wonder Woman. I have a few things I wonder about as well, like why is there no Wonder Man?? Things that make you go “hmmm”. Beryl Edmonds March 24, 2021 at 8:33 AM Thank you Richard, I’m sure there is many a Wonder Man on earth, I believe I’ve met a few. Belle

Alexis Y. March 23, 2021 at 11:08 AM Hi Belle, The joys of getting older. Many can relate to this poem. I too am “ Wonder Woman” and proud of it. I enjoyed the read. Have a great day:-) Alexis Beryl Edmonds March 24, 2021 at 8:29 AM Hi Alexis, glad to see I’m not one of a kind, us wonder women are entitled to be proud of ourselves. Thank you ~ Belle :-)

Judy Ball March 23, 2021 at 5:45 AM Yeah me too my friend. I'm always wondering where I left something. My husband is the same way but when he can't find something he thinks it's because I did something with it. He couldn't put anything back where he got it if his life depended on it.(someday it might)Great write here my friend. There is also an old woman in my mirror that won't go away. Love it. God Bless, JB Beryl Edmonds March 24, 2021 at 8:26 AM Thank you Judy, you made me laugh with (someday it might) I feel that way too, I’m always getting the blame when things go missing. God Bless, Belle Richard Lamoureux March 23, 2021 at 11:33 AM Great comment Judy! ;0)

Sara Kendrick March 21, 2021 at 5:32 AM Enjoyed reading your work about aging and the problems associated with it.

Carolyn Devonshire March 19, 2021 at 3:25 PM In old age, we have earned the right to be forgetful. And I'm always wondering where the years have gone. Enjoyed your poem and can relate to every line.
