I Wash My Face as Usual
I gazed in the mirror.
Wrinkles were stamped
deeply across my brows.
I saw my worst foe whispering
Who are you?
I gaze in the mirror.
Oblivious to furrowed brows,
I wash my face as usual. |

Note:
I warn you that My Worst Foe is not an Eric-esque poem.

A poignant poem on Time with an Eric-esque thought-evoking title, which I like immensely.

Champagne,
I must say that you failed in grasping the main theme explored in my poem. |

I concur!
Yourpoem reminds me of the sentiment revealed in Childe Harold's Pilgrimage by George Byron:
What is the worst of woes that wait on age?
......
To view each loved one blotted from life's page,
And be alone on earth, as I am now.
Below is my take on this pressing issue:
Breath
I
Live with the living,
die with the dead;
here he is – limbo.
II
Even Jesus once lay
six feet under,
why are you struggling?
III
Living or dying,
I’m striving for
spaces in between. _________________ Don't imitate me;
it's as boring
as the two halves of a melon. |

I like Byron's poem. Thanks for your poetic reply.

in and out of

Might be
in and out of my mind
my life
Time slips
Below is my another take on this pressing issue:
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, And ……
Cherry blossoms, summer showers
the harvest moon and snowscapes
mark Time
In and out of
my mind and life
Time slips
Note:
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, And …… , is my Christine-esque reply to My Worst Woe.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct and that this declaration was executed on Dec., 19. _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul

May I ask why both of you capitalize Time?
The temporal sense experienced by the narrator in My worst Woe is linear while it's cyclical in Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, And … _________________ 報三恩、耕三大福田 |
