Jo Bell on her blog, back in 2013, has helped in my efforts to post a poem each day this month - she has provided a month of poetry prompts which can be downloaded. Today's prompt was to write about a group of people, preferably ones you don't like! I have succumbed to my inner bile, prejudice and sense of victimhood, all of which I keep well under control most of the time.
The poem is in reponse to a Roddy Lumsden poem, The Young.
THE VERY OLD
A hundred and two,
well bully for you!
Smoking a cigarette,
no sight of a cataract – yet.
Brain bell-like and clear
never mind passing years...
