| Reflection And I should speak of age as it once was a thing to be grasped and honored wise in the ways of the world and heaven free forever of the enthusiasm of youth with its wild roller coaster of passion and with a story to tell at last. It’s not as if anyone told me. How did I miss the betrayal of the body this slow disintegration to pain and frailty? Too eager was I to reach for the prize of settled convictions and blessed insight unaware of the failing motivation in a being too tired, too weak, too sick to claim the dream of ambitious morning with twilight dimming the sight. It’s not as if anyone told me. Nor is it worth complaining on arrival I have worked too hard for this and a lifetime has its laurels though unexpected for nothing is wasted and the light still welcome though it shine upon elsewhere and a better home to come. It’s not as if anyone told me. Line count: 23 Free verse For Promptly Poetry Challenge 6, Week 4 Prompt: The Bop form. The first six-line stanza introduces the problem, the second eight-line stanza expands upon it, and the final six-line stanza explains the solution or failed attempts. There is a repeated refrain line after each stanza. |
