I am young,
But if I where a dog I would be in my late 70s
And I have lived for 4x longer than most hamsters
And 170 lifetimes of a fly.
Each day I live is all a mayfly lives in their entire life.
Yet I am young
Because I have lived less than a quarter of my life expectancy.
So I am young,
Because humans die old
And what a privilege that is
To have lived 170 lifetimes of a fly
And still be considered a child.
Write a fiction or non-fiction story in poetry or prose about the lifetime of an accessory, (a bracelet, watch, favorite pair of shoes, anything you watch every day) from when you get to the time you must throw it away through this object's eyes.
To be a poet is not to write poems
No,
Most anyone can do that
Most anyone has done that
For school,
Maybe
To be a poet is to see a tree
And not just see a tree
stop.
stop running.
stop worrying.
stop everything.
drop.
drop to the ground.
drop your possessions.
drop everything.
roll.
roll anyway from the fire.
roll away from your fears.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is beautiful.
Thank you!
i agree
what a beautiful thought that could so quickly be lost forever
This is so perfect! People are always saying that life is short, and this puts that in perspective so well. I love it!
