Although this in no was relates to teen matters, you'll deal

He laughs
His age deceiving
Bright eyes twinkle
His wrinkled face
A mystery
His youth unveiled
In his old age
The fountain of youth
Is not what it seems
It cannot be discovered
Until you are to old to care.

I absolutely love this! How it got this far down without any replies is beyond me... but I'm putting it back where it belongs. Fantastic poem! Great idea! Compact, and nicely written!

Thanks, I really liked this one, it's one of my favorites, I wrote it last year at writing camp. I was just done with seventh grade, and we had to write a poem relating to a picture of a person with an odd facial expression.  I chose an old man with a baby chicken on his head.  Thanks, Have a nice day
