Elders Poem by mifael llauderes

Elders

Rating: 5.0


An old man boils his
Soup, he’s no other source of
Warmth…but his own arms

A lady of age
Meanders through her years on
Her chair…her thoughts full

Listen, touch, we see
Them there until they last; then
We long… after that

Mifael, Also,10 for your last line, there is truth there spoken from the heart.

fine poem....you already seem to know what happens to 'elders' when they are not kept in 'the circle of family love'... I invite you to read my 'Sweet Bird Of Youth' when time allows.

It’s a shame for the old. A lot of old people just sit and wait with no one around at all. Your poem hits the nail on the head. Well done

A poem beautifully written about old age. I like your poems. Short but meaningful.
