Beauty Of Senility Poem by Linda Ori

Good poem on aging. Just for some added hope - I had a man in my Creative Writing class who was 96 and sharp as a tack. So we all have hope that it can be that way with us, too. Take care. Sincerely, Connie Webb

Brilliant, one of your best by far, flow is good and words concise, well done.

Very Betjemanesque, he wrote a very different but equally as good poem called 'Senex' about getting old. Your poem is super, witty rhyming and a clean lyrical rhythm.

Linda, you summed it up in the very first line, 'age is just a state of mind.'

Linda, I completely disagree ... but, could you repeat that please ... - - - what was beautiful?

Ah, the playful Ms. Ori in action. Darn near peed myself laughing. Oh. oh...loss of bladder control; another sign of getting older. A terse, comical little corker. Top drawer material, to be sure. How about giving us Part II; it would no doubt be most welcome. Cheers, Greg

...Hello? To whom am I speaking. It is? Hello, who are you...

Linda, Yes, Age is just a state of mind. Hurray! Let's break all the mirrors! Very clever poem. I enjoyed it. love, Allie XXX
