Old Man his weatherbeaten face, lined with the hills and valleys of age watery blue eyes set against a backdrop of bloodshot white his cheeks reddened from sun and alcohol, his aquiline nose has lost its nobility his once full lips now just scowling lines covering remnants of jagged teeth his stubble covered chin now a dirty gray bristle life has not been kind to him ...

Premium Member Disgraceful Old Man
Old man is named for years gone by. In this era, health can receive support. The old man’s dull ears and eyes, And lost teeth can be rejuvenated. But an old man with feeble reasoning Confuses both allies and foes. Self-image as a historical king, Reviving territorial ambitions. ...

Old Man Winter now flagging, and slip sliding along
Old Man Winter now flagging, and slip sliding along... as his stronghold diminishes. Signals, triggers, and ushers kickstarting debut of demure "Flora" who slowly but surely attempts to reveal her true colors in fits and starts, nevertheless, she displays skittishness, when sun kissed "Radiance" (the closest equivalent would be Aglaea from Greek mythology, one of the Charites (Graces) associated with radiant beauty and festive splendor) dearly...

You sockdologizing old man-trap long decayed where claws curl tight in dust and brittle bone your lies are hyenas dancing in the flame their jaws a rattle tearing flesh to stone their laughter cracks the silence and the name of truth that bleeds until the world has grown as hollow as the bones they gnaw upon each tooth a dagger that breaks...

Old man and young
This is a familiar village, with a few homes, Smoke rises straight from the chimneys’ domes. Today the streets are desolate and bare, Houses decaying, no one to care. Did the children dream of a future bright, And move to the city, like I did, on a flight? Did...

• Old man Howard was farming one day • When he spotted a weed in his yard • He decided that it mustn't stay • So he plucked it out then and there • Off he went to milk his goats • But they weren't producing any • So Old man Howard sold one of his boats • And bought...

She Heard The Old Man Sing
It was late at night when she heard the old man sing , 2 am when he thought no one would hear . Slow and sweet he sang the songs once sung by a love passed on; beautiful and best enjoyed alone,unaware others are listening at night she will never speak to him about this...

Winter’s chill is in the air, a frosty gasp washing twilight in gentle, glistening songs breathless dreams hesitate, rising from God’s grasp hopeful hearts reach out, knowing their love belongs wintery tongues tell their lies in glowing rhymes washing twilight in gentle, glistening songs each life is filled with blessings in pleasant times I sincerely believe in His blazing fire wintery tongues tell...
