Good morning. Welcome to poetry day on the blog. I am a fledgling poet. Poetry is not my first language in writing. Still I enjoy the process of trying to write poetry, and I believe that in attempting to write poems, channels develop to the center of my creative flow. No matter what your first creative language is, in writing, or in any of the other arts, try writing a poem today. It may spring a little channel to parts of you, earlier unknown. Today’s poem starts with a quote I read from the film, Elegy. (see the highlighted stanzas). I gave myself an “assignment” to turn this quote into a poem. Assign yourself something creative today. This will help you to “grow up” and to mature in beautiful, ageless ways.
Don’t worry about growing old.
Worry about growing up.
To gain maturity, takes a level of bold.
Whereas aging can be done by many a pup.
The wise elders are worth their weight in gold.
Becoming the lessons of their tests, sup by sup.
While still a blessing, many of us will grow old.
But in the circle of enlightened, few will make up.
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
