Age Without Limits (Acrostic Poetry competition entry 2025)

Age is just a number, but  traps us in a cage 

Gives us limitations, you cant do that you’re told yet 

Everyone  is special, our minds control our lives 


We can be or do as we wish, believe what we choose, live  as we please 

I know the body falters, sight and hearing fade 

There are many possibilities, if we’re given a chance 

Happy hearts can be  healthy, challenged minds remain alert 

Of course age has limits, reality hits us all, but  the weakest  legs can gain momentum, with a spark  

Unknown people and places, new experiences and joys  

These  give us hope and courage to persevere 

Love and understanding can truly change our lives  

Instead of loneliness and pain 

Make the most of  who you are, 

Instead of slowing down, giving up  

Take time to treasure life  

Say I can, I am, I will

Epitaph to James (Acrostic Poetry competition entry 2025)

M y husband how I miss you every day Y our thoughts that lit the room , and too, your smile D eath took you by the hand and lead away E ach hope of joy and love have gone awhile A nd so I sit alone, and do await R edemption in the subtle form of death E ven alone the fire starts t'abate S o solemn is its smouldering, smoky breath T his loneliness does weigh upon my heart J ust me, and cruellest death not concluding A live am I. Perhaps, in some small part, M akes this small life in history books protruding. E ach day I miss you, love, my life, my sun, S oon we shall meet again, two dead in one Charli Withers, 16 MY DEAREST JAMES - the subject's dead husband All acrostic poem titles appear in red in the poetry list RETURN TO LIST OF POEMS
