Older Poems

Me at 60

As I get older
And as I amble and imbibe
The wafting of the aroma of roses
And as I get older
I still rock (just not in a chair)
And I roll with the lingo
Of the younger generation
I think things are sick
I try not to throw shade
I think somethings are fire
I am stupidly blessed
(and I say in my Hampton

Older Witches Use Buckets

Older witches use buckets along with their broom
It’s the best way for them to safely dive, glide and zoom
They sometimes come in the window and fly around the room
sometimes hitting people in the head with their wayward broom

Older Men Are Beautiful

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder Poetry Contest
Crystol Woods

Her man friend, grey, over the hill, and older
He's cheesy, conning, plain, and a freeloader
She's in her twenties and smart
Her friends ask why this old fart
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Her friends are so puzzled and think something smells
They even ask what happened

As You Get Older

You start to look through another pair of glasses
If you lacked any experience, life has offered you classes
You learn from your past failures and successes
You've  become wiser while your heart has grown restless
What entertained you before, now irritates you somehow
Things that made you laugh, you shake your head at now
You now see the pitiful

On Growing Older

On Growing Older

Sometimes my steps are steady,
Sometimes my hands shake.
Sometimes my memory falters,
And I make some sad mistake.

Sometimes I hear you talking 
But I do not understand.
Just remember that I love you 
And I do the best I can.

My skin is sagged and wrinkled.
I look a little like an Elf.
My eyesight's getting hazy,
Sometimes I repeat

older is not always wiser

older is not always wiser
a saying proven wrong many times
I have met many wise children
they recognize the power of love
whereas dementia is often overlooked in elders who were never wise

Getting Older

They say age is just a number, 
but its much more than that.
Now everything I eat or drink
just somehow turns to fat.

I used to kick a soccer ball 
all over sunny fields of green
but now I throw my knee out
just pulling on my jeans .

My auburn hair that hung in waves, 
long and full of

He Grew Old

When he was young. I thought he was old. It never occurred to me that I might be wrong. That old wouldn’t show up for years and years, decades even. He wasn’t tall like my grandfather. But he wasn’t short either. He had a habit of biting his cuticles that I inherited and would be

Life Is Full Of Struggles As I Get Older

People say as I get older,
I become more calm
Enjoy the peace
I never liked that kind of peace
Bad luck when you are young
Always struggling to survive
Just thinking about doing things
Use one day as several days
Now I'm older,
It's time to get some free time
But my heart feels empty
No matter if you take care of the children and

Older Enjoyment

Older enjoys balmy days and nights, wisdom, previous memories

Five Years Gone

Five years have passed, we’re a little older
 This spring gets warmer every day
 It’s in the eye of the beholder
 The summer starts with rains of May
 You took advantage of this year
 You’ve got no more of age to gain
 No more of struggling with fear
 No more of worries and the pain

the whys of older women

Do older women wear gloves
To hide their wrinkles?
Camouflage their age spots?
To try to look fancy, dainty or demure?
To look feminine?
They usually wear pink, white, yellow or light green gloves.

Few of them wear black gloves.
Is this on purpose or by accident?
Maybe manufacturers never make black tea gloves
What is up with older women’s hair?
Why do they dye

Stages of Life

Embryonic Stage

So comfy and warm
Not feeling a hint of harm
Oh, what’s happening

Birth

Good grief, it’s so cold
O’er and o’er again was told
“Beautiful baby”

Child Age

Play sports, make good grades
Life’s full of adventure days
Hates vegetables

Teen Years

It’s an  awkward age
Parents struggle through  this stage
Just stay sane through it 

Young Adult Years

Leaving home first time
Into unknown, a steep

Older Dad, Older Daughter

Jet-black hair faded to gray;
tall, slender figure
arched with age—
sagging like the skin around your eyes
so much like mine.

Your loud voice has quieted
and become gentle as the years have passed.
Your once harsh hands now seek to guide me
on paths I had to discover without you.

Father,
I wonder—
while you have been present
but still so far away—
just how much

Good Philosophy For Older Age

Life will feel difficult
If eating porridge using chopsticks
Never for a second thought of harming people
For good principles will never change by time
Treat people the way they treat you
Good attitude not about who is older
Or younger, rather dealing good to all human
We should respect others and appreciate them
Behave how you want to be treated
Politeness is valued
