Good morning Everyone, and welcome to all my new followers!
Seeing as this is my birthday, I’m going to do something different. While I’m a writer of fiction and articles, I feel like I’m primarily a poet. Today I’m going to indulge this side of my nature by posting a number of small poems and haiku I’ve written in the last while.
It’s All In How You Feel
Age is only a number,
a matter of the mind, they say,
“You’re only as old as you feel.”
No one mentions, of course,
that arthritis
might add thirty years.
Sometimes, I feel like at least 100 … but on a good, dry, warm day … I get a respite and suddenly, I’m almost a regular person again.

I know exactly! I don’t know just what triggers it, but some days I roll out of bed no problem and other mornings it takes a few minutes until I can stand up straight.
