That's such a realistic portrait. So many can relate to having been the "wild thing" once and then judging the self for doing so. And yet, there is a lot of compassion towards others having been through those same trials.

I think this character you created in this poem is somebody most of us can relate on some level. She seems very real. That is a talent to make a character real. Thank you for sharing.

Another fine poem, Gypsy a reality we all have to face, who's the old person, and how did he or she get in my mirror? Time, the enemy you fight but who always wins

yes, wrinkles are the road map of your life...

a great, deeply emotional free verse
with nice imagistic word choices and smooth flow
love the stanza about hating herself but loving to others...

thank you for sharing
shelley :)

In one sense, age is very rewarding, but on another, people relate differently to how they did when one was young and attractive, but the beauty of age should indeed be just different not tragic, beautifully written dear Gypsy, blessings Roy

You have created a multi dimensional being. She lives with regret and memories of what once was. I liked this intimate look at her character. Great poem. Gretchen
