of aging
the principle cause
of aging
is the very fear
of aging
that’s a
natural phenomenon
so relax
you will
surely age
don’t have a rage,
but do age
gracefully
not hastily
but gracefully
you must leave the stage
without any rage,
for those who are
younger in age.

Thanks loved
Strong poem but not in the line of the workshop. We had several options to choose from as a challenge. Forgive me if I'm wrong but this doesn't represent any of the forms, ideas, or topics addressed in the workshop.

I know I is old, and fear not, so why is I becoming older ???LOL
I think that a little adjustment to the words on this one.
The poem "Desiderata" is a fine piece of writing, are you familiar with it,
I don't mean touchy feely but the words LOL
A good write there it seems to be an abridged version of that.
Take care young Bard, not sure what Ron was talking about,
Yours Ian.T

Yours Ian
you meant sojourn for me ... didn't you
and
you now say
I'm hard as stone
a rock jutted into the soaring sea
rather,
snoring sea...
that's me

Your poems are always intriquing - and I always learn a little something each time I visit.
Keep safe
