Therein lies the temptation you have given into!
Oh, for shame, cuz! Four words? Did you feel guilty doing it? I know I do!
It's still a great poem, and I always like the style (lol)
but since you have already went and done it, I suppose it's alright...THIS time!! LOL!
Sincerely,
Curt

    *bowing and scraping*....cuz, I thank you for not beating the hell out of me! HA!!! But, as you can see, 4 syllables is SO inferior to the required 3 syllables. Just doesn't have that "thing"!! So, I won't tinker with it any more. :-)) Sue

Sixteezkid,

Cute little poem. You've turned the corner and accepted who you are. I haven't done that yet. Still have to sneak up on the mirror. Each added year brings sadder tear.

Sue,

Ah-finally a poem written for the ignorant to understand. Seems I understand them when they discuss getting old and are filled with memories of youth. Thank you, Sue. I really appreciate your finally writing one just for me. lol

Enjoyed it immensely. Well done, my friend.

Reggie

    Yes, just a very simple ditty here, Reggie. Had to post something light to balance out the scale from my last heavy post! HA! And I most certainly had you in mind for this one! Merry Christmas, Reggie.......Sue

I'm getting good enough at recognizing this style that I actually said to myself while reading - there are 4 rhymes!
You've made very good use of this multiple internal rhyming and the jazzy sound of the style - a most upbeat look at maturing!

There is nothing more appealing that a mature woman, who is happy and content in herself.
The poem is one of enjoying liberation. Crying, FREEDOM! lol
A real beaut of a poem.

Very, very clever! Light fun and entertaining. the rhyming is marvellous and amazing that you could find so many sililar sounding words. It's a very realistic presentation of growing up from youth to adult - and prefer to be adult. "age" referred to is teenage years.A fun poem

Marvelous! This is charming and insightful. Quite cute and clever, with witty tone. Well done vers beaucoup.

Loved this:

That's a wrinkle! Make-up sprinkle,
now I twinkle. Used to smolder, now I'm older,
but much bolder

well presented and not a nit to fix.

:)

Warm regards,
rama devi

Hi, Sue.
Maybe you could make this your own invention;
'Sue's Vers Beaucoup'. LOL!
'Sung songs unsung' - tied my tongue up but grest fun.
'Such joie de vivre, and so naive' Blimey, you speak Swahili? LOL ('joy of life' I think) Too clever for this place. 'could not concieve' and got six kids, blimey, made up for lost time!
I'm OK as even though I'm over thirty now, I've retained my youthful looks, which you imply not ta have done, though if that's you in the pic. I'd disagree.
Great poem. Best wishes, Ray xx

Excellent poem. You did a really good job. Many of the thoughts are right on target. Like 'don't give a damm.' Beauty and youth are in the eyes of the beholder.

    Dianemae, thanks so much for your very kind review. I was reading Sylvia Plath's poem, "Mirror" and thought I'd make a fun poem about the mirror! Again, many thanks. With regards, Sue
