Better Than The Alternative

Today’s Poetry Prompt: Write a poem in ten minutes.

Aging Gracefully

I used to say,

old age is creeping up on me,

but

when I looked,

it was just my husband.

Then, I'd laugh.

But now,

I think old age is creeping up on me,

and when I looked,

it was me.

Clinging to the hand rail going downstairs.

It was me.

Turning on all the lights to read.

It was me.

Asking, what'd he say?

It was me.


Day 14

  1. I'm old enough that this one gave me the creeps. Which means I got it, as it got me. Which means, further, that it was excellent.
