Words for Wedensday offered by Hannah BananaFace this month. Not just two sets for words but two pictures
to choose from this week. I took the first set of words:
Convalescence - Rancor -
Empathy - Expertise - Dangle – Tissues
And chose the picture of
the Abandoned Car
AGING
by Granny Annie
The
abandoned car found there
Appeared
to be in convalescence.
Years of neglect had caused it to
Lose it's effervescence.
Treatment
of a once fine car
Began
to raise my rancor.
Not even good enough to be
Repossessed by the banker.
The thoughts of this
neglected car
Definitely stirred my empathy
Perhaps such abandonment
Would become my legacy.
Formerly talented with a lot
Of life's brilliant expertise,
Then
one day deserted to
Gather
rust and never please.
A
bright ornament on the
Car
mirror used to dangle.
Now
wilted beyond recognition
Hanging
at an awkward angle.
Tears
in my eyes caused me to
Dig in
my purse for tissues
Walking
away from the car forever
While
my own aging plight continues.
Why don't you go over to Hannah's blog and look at the word and picture choices and see what you can do with them. Story or poem, you decide. And enjoy reading some of the other contributions.
Oh your so rocked this one!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly stirred up many of the same feelings I have when I see and abandoned car overgrown by weeds. It deserved better.
ReplyDeleteI actually love those old cars! have owned so many...
ReplyDeleteLove this. We are too quick to discard the aging...
ReplyDeleteAs I commented on Hannah's blog...."Terrific, as usual, Annie! Love it!" :)
ReplyDeleteLove this poem, it speaks truth.
ReplyDeleteThis would take me a lot of time and mind-bending, but you make it seem easy.
ReplyDeleteWell done. I like how each bit, used one of the words.
