Haiku On Age Poem by Ananta Madhavan
Haiku On Age
We may grow older,
Prolonging lost youth in vain.
Fruits ripen on trees.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I kept to the Japanese-English metre of syllable count,
5-7-5, in all 17.
I allude to R. Browning's 'Rabbi ben Ezra': 'Grow old along with
me./ The best is yet to be.' The choice is ours:
to grow older gracefully or disgracefully.
