Gravity

Gravity is NOT my friend. I hate getting older. Is there any way to stop it? LOL

 As I grow older

I realize

That everything grows larger

Including my size.

 

My hips have widen

From giving birth.

My chest has grown too

Especially in girth.

 

My chin has doubled

And my eyes are now four.

I am surprised

My butt can fit out the door.

 

I look in the mirror

And sometimes I cringe.

What I wouldn’t give

To see myself thin.

Gray now shimmers

Where only brown once dwelled.

My feet have grown too

Because they’ve swelled.

 

My b***s have sagged

To my stomach they fall.

Gravity hasn’t been nice,

Not nice at all.

LOL that's good too... Second one of your poems i've read and now i'm forced to read more. Very well done. The last two stanzas are great... (except it is stomach not stomache?) Stomache might mean you have a mustache on your belly. That could be what you meant. :)

Don't send me pictures if you do have a stomache!!! I'll be scarred for life.

I am laughing out loud! haha What's the old saying? Just because there is snow on the roof doesn't mean there isn't fire in the chimney! haha That's my theory, anyway, because I am almost certain I am getting younger every single day! Great write!

Your humour is awesome, but don't be so hard on yourself. I love the flow of this piece and I think you bring to the table a subject that anyone can relate too (except the young) lol.... Did I just say that? Hell, I thought I was still young...lol Must be the age.. Anyway, I really enjoyed this piece because you showed a vulnerable side and that is something that wisdom has taught you. Remember, wisdom is one of the greatest gifts getting older can give us; embrace it. Thank you for sharing this piece.

Most certainly did girl, most certainly did. Where do you get orf lookin' in my mirror?

Such a pity that after a certain age things go south and east and west as well.

It's a funny feeling though when you turn 70 and people open the door for you because they think you are pregnant? Oh well, it often gets me a seat on the train as well.

Love the poem so filled with light hearted fun about a sadly truthful situation.

Cheers

close again ?

You know, things for me have been nothing short of difficult. After the first few lines I began to snicker. I really needed to laugh. Its amazing how much weight a laugh and a smile can lift from your shoulders. Well done.
