A self expression of realization that you have come and gone of age.


Poem Artwork

I cannot believe

this age I have become

from where did it arrive

to me does it

really belong?

To think that once

not so long ago

I was so young

tell me please

where did it go?

Why was I so remiss

in not seeing his passing

I had no idea

that on me this

this thing was creeping,

this aged morph

that I have become

tell me please

where did that boy go

why has he gone,

locked inside of me no doubt

maybe somehow

I can let him out.

How do I know my youth is all spent?
My get up and go has got up and went.
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin,
and think of the places my get up has been.
from a song by Pete Seeger

He's coming out now. That's why you're writing about him.

Fantastic write John!!!!
You are quickly becoming my favorite poet!

This one takes me back to little, "Johnny-boy" with his worn out hat.
My mom would put the ear flaps down and send me on my way.
If it was not too cold it came off before the end of the day.
Mom did not like that, she was the "Hat Police" jokingly I would say.

Soon to be my next poetic write...
"Thank you" John
