All very true statements. We try to recapture our former glory days in a mirror buts it's reflection certainly changes as time does. Certainly is cruel when it diminishes and fades the things we wish it to preserve. Great read and good luck with the contest!

Comment from Thomas Bowling
How true. I saw a cartoon in a biker magazine. An old woman was walking by two bikers One of them said, "Show me your tits."
She lifted her skirt to her knees and there were her breasts.

Comment from Alex Rosel
What a beautiful poem. Delivered with panache, it fulfils the remit of the contest with that touch of cynical humour so frequent in older people. This brightened my day, thank you for posting it. Good luck in the competition.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Yes, gravity and time certainly can be cruel customers, Anonymous Poet
But unless you're a vampire, you can't expect to stay young forever. Even so, who would want to drink the blood of living victims to maintain their useful appearance?
Well, I can think of a few blood sucking leeches here who just might, but other than that...
Best of luck to you in the contest.

Comment from prettybluebirds
Exceptional. Boy, this one is certainly true. Old age kind of sneaks up on a person. I never thought of myself as an old person until this year. All of a sudden, I was seventy years old. I don't feel that old, but I guess age gets us all in the end. Good luck in the contest. Love, Auntie

Comment from humpwhistle
Beauty is a thin perception. And always in flux.
We rail against the 'ravages of time'.
Other cultures venerate the signs of aging.
Ruing the inevitable is a sign of the immaturity of our culture.
We throw age tantrums like a kid in the candy aisle of a supermarket.
Maturity and age are supposed to go hand in hand.
Gravity and time are natural phenomena we all rely on.
The worship of a perceived 'beauty' is cruel.
Just one man's opinion.
Peace, Lee

Excellent, you really captured the theme. I'm fifty nine and everything sags. I look in the mirror and see a stranger. The picture compliments your beautiful poem. Thanks for reminding me I'm not alone.

This 777, Reality, is touching on a subject close to my own reality. Getting older IS cruel when your mind feels twenty, but your body says sixty. Wish youth serums were real. Nice poem there, devil pup. Bill
