Stay forever young

~ thereluctantpoet

 Forever young

Once I was fearless and brave.

Love was life and life was love.

I had a strong back and powerful legs.

I was going to save my world.
Once I wanted long nights and I could dance till the sunrise.

I love the song and I loved the red-hair ladies.
Time had  stole the energy of my youth,

too many losses made brave and fearless man walk slower and think too much.

My old heart had learn.
Life is simple. Be forever young in spirit.

Dance with the grandchildren,

teach them to be fearless and brave.
Don’t complain,

laugh and dance till the midnight hours.

Sing songs of praise and be thankful for what you have.
Once I was fearless and brave and I know now.

Love near, keep us young and hopeful.

Lead with concern, kindness and listen.

Be forever young,

never allow life to make you…

Daily Prompts- The judgement

~ thereluctantpoet

Keep it alive

“You are in deep trouble” said the lawyer after the jury verdict was announced.”The conviction means that the official sentence will be a long one. Maybe ten years”.

“The carrot and the stick policy won’t work this time, which you have used to keep the people silent previously” the lawyer said with a stern expression.

“Maybe they will go light on the sentencing” 45 said hopefully.

Daily Prompts- On tenterhooks

~ thereluctantpoet

Keep it alive

It is so exciting, today is the day

And yet the anticipation is muddied with

Fear that that aeolist may win the election again

People are on tenterhooks, awaiting the results keenly

This year has been extraordinarily difficult so far

And if this election result is as most people want it to be

I will vouch that there will be something to celebrate this time

There are lots of opinions on social media, people making noise

About their favorite candidates and party preferences

Let’s hope that peace and harmony prevail

As the results are finally announced

A Taste of November

Roth Poetry

I can still remember, like it was yesterday

Fall in the woods where I grew up

Cold weather closed in early

Leaves in the woods

Turned shades of yellow, orange, red, and brown

What was once a lush woods

Filled with green hollow stemmed weeds

Now becomes blanketed

With a soft silent coating of leaves

The Silver Maple and Butternut next to the house

Dropped their yellow-tan leaves

The quince turned yellow-brown

As the apple trees added color to the scene

With rich deep red leaves…

On the driveway black walnuts still in the hulls

Driven over with car tires

Squishing and shelling

Picking them up, peeling off the excess

While blends of saffron, amber, and walnut stains

Are left on my hands and under my nails

From driveway to furnace room

Down in the basement

The nuts are carried to be dried

Cracked with hammer and brick

I walk…
