I personally think
Anybody that gets older with no illness
Might not feel this way at all
Old is when you've aged too fast
Laid down in your genes
Don't give in at all
Aging is common
Not an exception
Don't we all age?
Tired is also weird
It can come with several ailments
Everybody, no-no, can acquire one
Do you know why I am extremely tired? Overwork, illnesses- take your pick.

This is a poetry contest, no prose. The style is FREE VERSE, no structured poetry of any kind. If it has a name ie, sonnet, haiku, quatrains, blank verse, nonet etc. it is NOT free verse.
The topic is aging. Feel free to use your imagination and ingenuity to approach the topic any way you wish. BUT, it must clearly be about AGING.
Your presentation is entirely up to you. You may use all your skills to make your piece exciting to look at and experience as well as to read.
NOTE: If you have to EXPLAIN your piece in author's notes, it ain't much of a piece. :)) |
