 Book of poems written for the second and third years of the Promptly Poetry Challenge. |
 Poems written for Promptly Poetry Years Two and Three. Year three is four poems short of being complete but, having reached 100, I have run out of room in this book for the last few of 2023. This overflow will be consigned to the previous collection of Promptly poems, named Promptly Poetry. |
 Elephant Years Don’t speak to me of your old age - my wrinkles wrote the book and page. Though your hair may be grey and ever so thin - I’m grey all over and bald as a pin. When you talk of the past and the days you call yore - I remember it all and have forgotten much more. You’re weak and you’re feeble and once were so strong - I’ve worked all my days and still carry on. Thine eyelid so saggy and vision so weary - my eyes are the same but even more bleary. Your nose is so huge and ears have gone flappy - to compare them to mine would only be sappy. You say that your aches and your pains multiply - mine are the same but by size magnified. It’s true that you’re old, but your years have been kind - the fact is I’ve laboured for time out of mind. Line count: 16 Rhyming couplets For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 31 2023 Prompt: As per illustration. |
