My enemy
Seems my body is my enemy now9 total reviews
Comment from Debra White
And isn't that the truth!
This is a completely relatable two line poem.
It seems like my body clicks and creaks with each movement these days - I can't sneak up on anyone any more!
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes, Debra :)

A very well-written two-line poem about our new enemy our own body when we get older. We start to realize we have pains in places we did not know we have.

Well it looks like you or your character got out of bed on that day. It was hard hard not to laugh and then hard to laugh. I love your honesty and the way you wrote as. As I use to be so fit. Good poem. Maybe you should try stretching before you get out of bed.

Entering a race at any age is a challenge but when you're getting on in years it is surely remarkable! I am with you with your words here, those aching bones are surly debilitating! I could identify here! Love Dolly x

Hi Contest Author,
Ha ha ha! I'm laughing with, not at, you here. Yes, it is shit when we can no longer do what we used to enjoy. Your verse is perfect and, coupled with the image you have selected to display, is a great two-line contest entry. Thanks for sharing and good luck. Jan :-)

Dear Mystery Writer,
Yeah, wish I could relate to this, but I'm just 56 years old and I still feel like a twelve year old. (ummm... not.) hehehe
I suppose you'll find several people here who will relate to this one. But I'm curious - all the entries I've read have rhymed. There's no requirement for that, right? Just checking.
Thanks and good luck!

It must be a coincidence. Thanks for the review
Comment from Tina Crute
That's a great word for getting old. It's not a word I use, but it's appropriate LOL! Thanks for the laugh! I am not sure this is two lines. It looks like four sentences in a way. You could say my body is letting me down, AS I used to be so fit. You could do the same with the next couple lines enjoying them better by using the word as before the word getting. Just a suggestion because I don't want you disqualified from the contest. This is very good!

I turn 63 this month and I agree, it's tough. My knees hurt, my back hurts, I fall asleep by 8, and up by 4. But I wouldn't change a thing. This is very well-written, and I love the picture.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day and God bless.
