Human beings try to articulate their angry thoughts

When contacts are made, across this Earthly place

But still, we are not penitent, fearful, nor fraught

Even though we’ve made a mess, of our living space

Welcome to ….
Not Just My Verse, Your Two Two Too!

Rory (A Guy Called Bloke) graciously tagged me to continue this aging process, like I need help. Below, I’ll tag the next victim, er, poet/writer, to carry on…with the poem. 😉

Once the poem [Verse] leaves my blog, the next blogger along can take it where ever they want with regards their own four line verse but always staying on topic.

Got it?  Remember to tag another poet to keep it going!!
Topic: The Ageing Process


The Wrong Side of 40

Rory’s Bit

Oh!
How l wish, that when l was younger,
My parents had been somewhat bolder,
Concerning the ageing process and the wonders,
Blunders, pitfalls and perils of getting older!

Dorinda’s Bit

Wrinkles in my skin have begun to bloom
I dare not look in the mirror much longer
Mom once said, child, you can forego this doom
Honestly, she couldn’t have been any wronger

 

My Tag Along is to Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

In darkness

She seeks her solace

Quietly

He hovers

But raven brings no comfort

Merely an omen

TP or not TP (sorry Shakespeare) – #poetry – #AprilWriting

Do you ever wonder, what it must think?

When in the bathroom, you make a stink

Does it cringe or does it start to sweat?

I’ve often wondered, but haven’t asked, just yet

After being neatly rolled with its fellow sheets

A human hand grabs and heads for a seat

Right then, does the toilet paper feel its defeat?

Or does it, instead, feel more replete?

After all, we are using it, for what it is meant

Though asked, I’m sure it would give its dissent

Stand on the roller, and proclaim to the crowd

Nothing I did here, is making me feel proud!

With its roll now depleted, its job is finished, so they say

Until Mother Nature calls, and we’re headed back its way
