No part of me wants to want
a held heart;
Except at night when your face is all I can see
right before I fall asleep.
impressive palm print
fills the bulk of the forest
forty-five foot oak
leaving me warm memories
heavenly haven for crows
Forty Lords a'leaping,
Forty bugs a'creeping
Forty forty year-olds,
With forty sad life tales.
Forty forty forty year-olds,
With their forty ales.
The inventive Swedish town of Gayle
Every winter holiday without fail,
makes a forty-three foot goat
Out of straw and an oat
It’s totally true, not a wild tale.
Love's cornerstone set
Forty-five years together
Dear wife of my youth
Our sons, their wives, our lives full
May love's embrace continue
~ to the moon and back ~
Stevie is no aberration
Many spoiled forty-year-old men
Now live in mama’s basement
Playing video games all night
Sleeping all day while mama does their laundry
And makes their meals
Today I'm going to see my sweet Doctor Kim
To discover what shape this guy's in
From how I feel now
She'll say, “Holy freakin' cow”
“You're like a man of forty” I couldn't stop the grin
a number is a curious thing
the shape the color the familiar ring
reflections cast a pallid glow
winter's secrets over summer's tow
with magic beans and wicked tea
such fools take heart at forty three
Frenzied I’m not crossing
Fifty per cent of life
Feel comfy in my skin
Free from frivolity
Focused on who I love:
Family-my backbone
Friends- the air I inhale

Today I'm going to see my sweet Doctor Kim
To discover what shape this guy's really in
From how I feel now
She'll say, “Holy freakin' cow”
“You're like a man of forty” and not be able to wipe off the grin
FORTY
Great the age of forty
Now we can be naughty
So do not worry anymore
That life is passing by
And so will reflect now
On years that have passed
Forward looking to those coming
But be comfy in yourselves
I thought someday I’d be a professional man
And not just a plain old house renovator
But I never followed up on that plan
And have not taken steps during my lifespan
So I have settled on being a ‘pro’crastinator

Forty old? Hold your tongue.
Having children keeps me young.
Double forty? I don't care.
I can travel any where.
Forty here and forty there.
Forty duo makes a pair.
Forty now? Turn a page.
Getting older is the rage.

Forty years fly by, like fast frame film
Flickering pictures of life, it's joys and sorrows
Memories made over time, some sharp, some dim
Each scene defines us, for good or ill
All are part of who we are inside.

I love women at forty
Because they too become snorty
Now whom to complain dear...
Equality expels all my fear
Forty makes you more matured
Love bond makes us endured
Now finding poetry in you...
Living poetry gives me cue

Bliss and ecstasy vibrate within
me, as everyone I have
known in my life gathers
in a blissful, warm circle,
all ready to celebrate my
birthday. A candle standing above
number forty reminds me I’ve
lived a quarter century miraculously!

i am forty
old as eighty
young as twenty
alive millenium old
centuries young kicking
forty in naughty
twenty is pretty
eighty is ancient
i am happy nice out here
dreaming of past wondering
on future smiling content like
a child i am forty again bara basulimo
Form:
By the time, I'm Forty
Can't afford to be haughty
By the time, I'm Forty
Wish I'd be more naughty
By the time, I'm Forty
I wanna be as witty
By the time, I'm Forty
I don' wanna look Sixty!

From father to father, here's some friendly advice
Offer love and support, be wise and concise
Responses are remembered and magnified in young eyes
Think before you speak is most highly advised
Yesterday is gone, and be willing to compromise

Revolutionary insight excelled
for forty days and forty nights.
Noah discovered what rain was;
Moses received God’s ten laws twice.
Josh and Caleb searched out the land;
Jesus triumphed o'er Satan's tests.
Goliath’s grand boasting accrued;
Elijah travelled in anguish.
Four minutes to write a poem.
Where to turn? What to write?
Four minutes to make it perfect.
I am laughing now. Loud guffaws.
Forty years might not be enough
To perfect this art, to make it right.
Forty years I doubt I have left.
But will I waste time pondering this? I hope not.
Forty years on this earth;
Know value and your worth.
Many years you've been tempted,
Let it go, become emptied.
Grasp wisdom you have learned,
The rest....let it burn.
Better days are just ahead,
Forty years....life well led.

Unbothered at Forty
I stopped asking permission to belong.
My peace became more valuable than approval.
Not every friendship was meant to stay.
The right women found the real me.
Forty taught me to choose myself.
Stopped peace friendship real choose.
