Short Seniority Poems

Age
wrinkles
our faces-
yet give us an
edge...

Continuous youth-
 
Such a tricky button
 
It comes off and then on again
 
Seniority strikes with the dullest
 
Redundancy, hatching an escape plan
 
From current time and space...

INEVITABLE

            New life appears welcoming childhood
           meeting arrogant youth merging to serene seniority
           or to face abrupt end at any time.
            From womb to tomb leaving obituary.

Oh life can be so strange
when fate effects one’s change,
this advanced time of life
seniority rife.
Oh in wishes and dreams
in a message that screams,
a love indeed a need
how one here this did read.
One day at the castle
with care and no hassle,
the first time one did face
such beauty oh such grace.
With trepidation gone
open arms and eyes shone!

Womb to Tomb

      New life from womb to pass through childhood and youth
      and then with time merging to serene seniority
      or premature end at any time facing ruthless truth.
       Or inevitable death to meet after attaining maturity

Life begins at Forty

          F orty finds its first step facing fearless maturity.
          O rdinary one proceeds onward or is considered celebrity.
          R easoning reckons winning whims to prefer prime priority.
          T ransition takes tough arrogant youth into tolerant seniority.
          Y oung heart glistens ever-young even crossing Forty.
