Check Engine Light
Silly Poem about Aging25 total reviews
Comment from Trina Layne
I got smiles from this. That was a good idea - the check engine light as a metaphor for aging. Happy for you that you took up the challenge of trying to bring that idea to life in this piece. Keep writing!

Comment from artisart4u
It is nice when you can laugh at getting old. Every day you wonder, what is going to be next.
I thought of one- when we are younger we think about the scent of perfume, now the smell we have is one of medicine.
Your couplets and nice and so is your picture.
Congratulations on being Recognized and good luck with your funny poem.

Comment from Begin Again
My check engine light has been on for years...And I am 76. I can't afford to fix it, and even if I could, would I? It's better to face each morning anew and pray that the Lord will get me through.
Smiles, Carol

Comment from BethShelby
I hear you. I feel the same way and except that I would really love to feel like I did at sixty-two. Your poem expresses it well. I wish I could say it gets better, but I can't.

Beth,
Thank you for the wonderful review. I used to be a caregiver for the elderly and one day one of them said, "That the only thing about the golden years, that was golden is the pee running down your leg. I thought that was funny. Not so much anymore. Have a great day.

Comment from Darlene BoClair
I can relate your humor when it becomes real in our bodies. I like the title and how you have a friend who encouraged you to write and to share your journey of aches in a poem so fitting for life. Keep writing and sharing your gift!

Darlene,
Thank you so much for a wonderful review. My friend Nicki B is a great poet on here also. Much better than I. I am still a rookie though.
One day I said something about my check engine light and she said you should write a poem. So I did. It was fun writing.

Again keep writing and supporting your your friend Nicki B.

Yes ma'am I will do. My muse was on vacation for a few weeks. I now have her chained to the desk. Ha, ha

Do your best

Yes, ma'am that's all I can do.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Cute, cute, cute. And what a title and a reoccurring line. It is perfect for us who seem to be aging faster than we should be. However, I have always told my grandkids that when I grow up I want to be just like them. Thanks for a delightful poem and this would have been a fun one to do together. You made it your own and made it fun. Thanks for the laugh at ourselves. Love, Debi

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I though other might get a kick out of it also. My muse finally decided to show back up.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Good title and great images of the aging body. We sure do see the check engine light flashing more often these days. I spent the day scrubbing woodwork and a filthy oven in a rental we are hoping to sell and just about every part is blinking a red light. Have a blessed Christmas and a wonderful new year.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
I like that - the check engine light came on at fifty and only gets worse. I've not heard that saying before, but looking back a ways, I think it's probably about right. LOL
Enjoyable read, Cecilia.
Cheers

Thank you for the wonderful review. It's one of my favorite sayings and I thought others would get a giggle out of it. Have a great day my friend.
