April is National Poetry Month and it was a hard decision to forgo NaPoWriMo but I just couldn’t make it work with trying to find a job. Now I’ve had my interview and will be hired once I pass a pre-employment sandwich formula test…
I didn’t want to miss out on all the fun I just had to write some poems… Now, I’m feverish thinking I should just write the full 30! I may add in a few revisions here and there but I have a small start already…
Ageless Plastic People
I never could fit
in the plastic mold.
Thoughts run like a nose
in a circumstance of constant cold.
I unwrinkle the winks and smiles
that once indicated youth.
As the lines and frowns return
I learn to love the process of growing old.
Until, I too am resigned to the back shelf
flaking off next to greening cheese.
Throbbing, bobbing eyeballs popping
masked by the sound of knees cracking,
back breaking, body hurling toward the ground.
More to come in the next few days. Hopefully I can make it to 30!
