This week we were asked to create our own syllabic form.
A scrimerlick is a first person lament.
Five lines with the following syllables per line 9-9-5-5-9 – no rhyming. Refrain from using “ing” words. This poem is titled.
Aging or Genetics
I went to the doctor for nothing
she viewed my chart and hid her chagrin
*expects healing now-
no acceptance of age*
yet, I’ve had these complaints forever

Now I’m close to you on this… I get my ‘official old lady card’ this year.
One benefit (if I get the same insurance as hubby) is the free (though limited in some areas) gym membership. The place I’ll go to has a Eucalyptus sauna…or at least they did and an inside walking track and an inside pool!

my husband has the free gym access. I don’t, but the cost per year in our local facility amounts to $10 a month.

It would cost more than that if I joined the same gym now. I can wait..
