What a commendable attitude and a well written diatelle! My mom told me getting old means pain. But I find that different people have different approaches to pain and no one wants to be dependent on drugs. Keep living and "loving with zing." Best wishes in the contest.

Thank you for sharing!
I love the way the picture helped bring out the morale of the poem.
This was lovely to read.
I couldn't find any grammatical errors.

Unfortunately, this is the results of aging. Our bodies are wearing out. We can do our best to maintain them with exercise and eating right. It will prolong the inevitable a bit. I like the message of this and enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
It sure looks as though you touched all bases. Good poem relating the necessity of exercise. When you don't use them you lose them, so keep at it. Excellent picture.

Like this.
For me it is less aching bones that failing ears. Loss of music, radio, TV, conversations, telephone, you name it. How long does one bear with it, eh? I enjoy, sometimes, the anger this causes -- which seems "youthful" or "screw you" grim reaper enough to elicit an inward smile.
The form bothers me here, just seems in the way of your saying what you really want to say which I often feel about weirdo forms.
Thanks
Enjoyed it

Jeff, you have a good perspective, the form is tight and that is why I enjoy these weekly challenges to take me way from my comfort zone which is "free verse". Have a fantastic weekend!

Dear Author... I have got to give this poem a 6 before I even count syllables or check the rhyme scheme... it's ringing so close to home here!!! I'm learning voice to text on my computer for my longer writings... it's starting to get worse! With understanding... :) (counts and rhymes... all good!) :)

Comment from June Sargent
This is a great diatelle on a subject most can related to! The old bones are hurting here in cold New England. Very dark and damp today. Second poem I've read today on aches and pains. Must be a common theme in winter! Well done.
