Whose Face Is This?
by RodG
This is so close to me that I shudder. Inside I feel like a young girl, giggly and atwitter - but my mirror shows me an old lady with the ravages of time ironed into her face. Where young men used to smile slyly, now they do not see me. How well you have written this poem. I wish you the best in the competition for a well-presented writing.

Thank you so much, MISS SHERRY, for sharing my Quatern. I am sad you can relate so well to the Speaker. It's bad enough to GET old. Do we have to look the part, too?

I so agree...so I plaster on a smile and it eases out some of the ravages.
