OK I'm struggling, I want to include the Poem Title of that which I am recognising ...... give it a bit of an extra nod as unless you have heard of it I understand you wouldn't get my very tentative reference, but I don't feel it's working, maybe it's because I'm losing the punchiness of the overall effect, its general simplicity of completion, I'm copying it below as somewhere to store & if anyone has any suggestions feel free, I shall go away & think:
Tired of getting old,
Of being told
That age is just a figment of the mind, defined
By that constant need for sleep.
Naps crying out to be taken,
So as to try to reawaken
Your lust for life, that get up & go,
To show
That really, maybe, possibly, everything is but a number.
A number to a page that we are yet to write,
As we continue to fight ,
To carry on with each brand new day
And stay away,
From those who say that purple is just for the young.
A “Warning” for the youth
That petticoats can walk wings
And not only stalk but soar
PS Still absolutely no idea as to a title, I will get there ..... eventually!
