Don't tell me about it! What a great image, so well reflected by your excellent, rhyming and very relatable 5-5-5. The only suggestion I'd make
is to tighten up the text on the last line. This has to be a strong contender! Well done and good luck! Debbie

This is exactly how a person feels when you are aging. You say pain, pain, go away never come back I say! It's part of getting old and your poem is true to the poetic words.

Hehe very clever. I like that you made it anytime even though it looks like the prompt didn't require it.

I don't know if it was intentional but I liked the assonance in "Aging" as kind of an internal rhyme.

I'm wondering where you got the artwork from. Please don't forget to credit the creator (especially if it's yourself)!

It is true. After 18 it's pretty much all downhill. Nothing, physically, gets better with time. Thankfully, we do have the opportunity to get smarter! Great poem for the entry. Best of luck! Julie.

An excellent 5-5-5 writing entry prompt. You really paint a picture we can all visualize and understand. Getting older is not for sissys. The artwork is perfect for the poem. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

You got the syllable count right, and I loved your rhymes. Growing old is no fun, that's for sure. Your picture helped to capture the feel of the poem. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Oh, I definitely can relate to this poem. I'm in my 75th year and relate to every syllable you've written! Lol
And the aging photo is perfect. I hope you do well in the contest.

    I'm not quite to the senior citizen stage yet but sometimes have days that I feel like it.
