Excellent and amen to your words.

HA... A great write... I loved it! :] Im heading that way... if not already there :] HeHe. A most enjoyable read!

Hey Kaye,

"You see the wrinkles of an aging broad
Silver lines streak once black hair of youth
darkened eyes hold secrets innocents would envy
Every crease defies chemical warfare to hide truths"

No truer words were spoken. Excellent write, my dear. Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for sharing a little humor with a bit of profound truth.

Always,
Jeannie

Yes it is so. Well done.

Yes with age comes wisdom & the young can
learn a lot. I like tone of this write, it holds
pride with a touch of humor...liked the read!
Take care.

You have said so much in this poem. A lesson written with flow and grace. There isn't anything to say that would change the quality of this superb read

Nicely written poem. Agree with you.

The last verse is the real kicker, DD :-)
LOL "aging broad" - You're a little young to be called that! :-D

A beautiful and humorous write! I loved the line...no silicone moons...LOL great words, excellent!

Loved it!!!!

Hey Congrats on the win :D

Funny and true. People should never judge a book by it's cover!

OMG Kay I could swear I had already commented on this piece. *Scratches head, puzzled* .... lol

No silicone moons rest upon the cavity
Pristine, not even an acrylic tip
^^^
I loved this part, made me giggle.

Congrats on the win my friend, sorry for being so late with it though .... I'll find my memory some day ... lol

Great read !

This is a very clever write. i especially liked the opening stanza, and;

"darkened eyes hold secrets innocents would envy"

"Shall they dig me from the depths of earth
one hundred years from now
No silicone moons rest upon the cavity
Pristine, not even an acrylic tip".

those stuck out to me the most, lol.
very original. i don't think there's anything wrong with this. its definitely one of the poems i'll be reading often lol

love always,
Liz =]

Wow ! peace within yourself and honesty to all. I loved this

What a great jab on ones' self! I love the your stanza about your wrinkles. Imagine makeup being a form of chemical warfare. Your poem make me feel so much better about myself. Thank you.

This poem gave me chills...the title caught my attention as i thought it would be about a teenager evolving...but then i realised... this piece beyond everything is humble.. humble because it speaks of years..not as something to hate..but something to love...instead of being mad for what it has taken away you potrait what it did ..in a bittersweet way..and the ending was like the cherry on top.
very accepting of how it is when one dies ..beautiful work -hugs-
