I don't have time to compose, so here is another composition from my first year participating in the Words For Wednesday. August 4, 2016
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.
Well written Granny !
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashok. High praise coming from you.
DeleteYou are an excellent writer. Wish you had a follow button on your blog, I used to be able to add blogs on my sidebar doesnt work anymore
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem. Can't add you to my sidebar either.
DeleteLove your poem. And hope you can join the W4W meme again soon.
ReplyDeleteThings are starting to calm down a bit so maybe I can try a new one next week. You are so great to keep this going.
DeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne with an "e".
DeleteVery well done. Loved how you tied the aging car to our aging bodies.
ReplyDeleteI remember that picture I think, or maybe I've seen one similar. Good poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you River. Yes I am sure you wrote for that challenge also. Hannahbannaface had posted it but she isn't blogging anymore.
