Life is short, smile while you still have teeth 🎭
acrostic - On Real Poetic's anniversary
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY RP
🎭
As an evidential and existential attestation of
Now being the winter of our discontent
Now when reflection on the current state of our affairs
Incurs not the glorious warmth of the summer sun
Varying are all the clouds that form upon our weary brows
Every knight who once rode in upon barbed steeds
Reclines now capering nimbly in other lady's bed chambers
Such raw feelings of being cheated by a dissembling father time, lives
Amidst unfinish’d symphonies sent to mock and jeer our fall from grace
Rise, ye treacherous wanton hearts, linger not on what might have been with drunken prophecies. Libels and unfulfilled dreams shall fade away
Yet will we still live ferociously between the “winter” of discontent and the “glorious summer” reflecting the changing fortunes with intrigue. Life is short, smile while you still have teeth!!!!

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

Grow old gracefully with gratitude; not everyone gets a chance to make a wrinkle in time. Wonderful concept and clever acrostic!
The final line, "Life is short, smile while you still have teeth," is an unexpected yet powerful reminder to find joy in the present moment, even amid life's vicissitudes.... Magnificent poem....I liked it😊
