All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

When I Get Old...
Another poem I could work on, just wanted to hash out a bit here and see if this makes any sense....


Accurate Portrait

Now that I'm getting old
I want to take a class and learn how to paint
forget how horrible the world turned out to be
how dreams never materialized from youth
as I look on at my own children starving
from realizations that pretty ponies
and glamorous lives won't materialize
don't exist because you never learned how to paint
an accurate portrait


See what I did there...play on words...probably not the best poetically.
