Wrinkles

Wrinkle, wrinkle on my face… Couldn't you have found some other place ? What made you furrow between my eyes ? And all those creams, they are nothing but lies…. When I look in the mirror, all I can see… Is a silver haired person staring back at me…. Then there are the lines , which run down the sides of my nose… Running in circles, round my lips, down my neck and into my clothes…. Speaking of clothes , isn’t that where the wrinkles should be ? Is nature playing a trick on me ? Or is this a sign “ old “ is sneaking up on me ? It seems only yesterday I was a young girl .. and had my whole life ahead of me… So simple..so free…… Which don’t take me wrong I have enjoyed my life’s ride… And there isn’t much in my life, I haven’t tried…. But it should would be nice if I could just see… Myself with one less wrinkle…when I looked back at me…..

Try Photoshop. It can erase wrinkles. Another clever poem. Congratulations. Allan

Heartfelt words, appreciated and understood. Only wisdom ransoms time, or would you really rather be back in the dating scene? Thanks, Mark

- Nice to read your poem kj. - Age drawings come with age, wrinkles are wisdom. - Unnatural with a wrinkle-free face on people who are "old". -Smile at your reflection. - Have a beautiful day. - oxox // Anne-Lise :)
