Life & Death Haikus: Aging (Original Poem)

in poetry •  7 years ago 



Remnants of beauty
Wrinkled up and fading fast
Humbling us all...




Sooner than I will realize, I too shall become less youthful, wrinkled, and worn down, but my spirit will persevere as my body fails me in time.

nice poem dude, makes you appreciate life.

Thank you very much, that was the aim of this poem. I appreciate your comment and you reading

Too true, man, too true. Your haiku reminds me of one by Ryokan.

Counting days is like snapping
One's fingers---
Every May passes like a dream

My renga (to your haiku, not ryokan's):

days pass as quick as a flash
blink and poof—old age is here

Nice poems man. I often think about life and death. I know my old age is inevitable if I live long, but death may also intervene in that time frame early. Such is life...always in the unknown and uncertainty

Speaking the truth to powder, here!

Haha, indeed indeed, I see what you did there, you're quite clever with the word play as well. Touché my friend. Appreciate you reading and your nice comment, thank you
