Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Like an apple or a lime,
we all mellow after time,
ripened in the summer sunshine,
now a celebrated wine
settling gently into age,
freed from passions, seeming sage,
yet eyes can still retain their twinkle
though years make faces dry and wrinkled.
