View from a Window Good God where has all the time gone? Seems but yesterday I was born. And now I think I’ve been misled This one-way street that lies ahead My head has turned from hair to skin Hair around but nothing within And wrinkles light where once was tight My beard has grown a semi white. My abs no longer is a drum In fact it’s added quite a sum My muscle tone has turned to moan Each time I walk they seem to groan. I miss my friends that passed away The one’s are left don’t want to play. They all complain of tired feet And joke about their obsolete. Good heavens I’m a sac of bones That shakes and rattles undertones. But still I think a butterfly And sigh each time the girls go bye. I dream much better than I did I’m off in the wink of a lid. For with the dream I am once more The young man in the candy store Perhaps it is better this way For I sleep most of the day. |

Keep winging to the petals, butterfly...and if you land on my hand, I'll stroke your wings....and lift you to the higher breezes.... excellent... |

Ahhhhh, having an 'end of the week day' feelin' tired...the poem is well done, and though a sad report, it really seems to have a lightness to it...must be from the butterfly. Hope you sprout your wings. |

I do believe you've been seeing my reflection in your mirror - and clearly we are sharing many many thoughts and feelings - I'm saving this one - - surely I was meant to read it |

Seymour, these words you write on pages blue have touched my heart and so to you I say what our PoetFriend JanetMarie has stated something to the fact that like a fine wine can aging be compared... Hugs2uPoetFriend ~coco~ |

This is wonderful, Seymour... (and I won't even scold you too much about your old comments since you've captured so well that surprise and dismay felt each time we realize something just isn't what it used to be! LOL.) [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 04-26-2001).] |

Sy--Your poem is told with a pinch of whimsy..I very much enjoyed reading it...for I can relate to quite a bit of it. I must try taking naps. |
