old ladies hour

I like old ladies hour..
they put the world right,
in front of a cup of tea,
and some pastries..
outside,weather is fine,
in their heart,
always some drops..
they talk over absents,
and eternal return..
they smell hospital,
and wilthered flowers..
I like old ladies hour,
they chat so gently..
their lips,
tell book of history,
and morals..
growing like plants,
are grand children,
and medic's always more expensive,
my dear..
they have green and blues umbrellas,
old ladies..
grey and blacks dresses,
memory a life..
mauve scarfs,
speaking of the one,
already gone..
old ladies,laugh,
with a broken glass little sound..
old ladies finish their tea,
setting off again,
like kind godmothers..
perched on the evoked old dreams broom,
they fly away,
to their castles of loneliness..

With the commercialism we have here in the states brainwashing our people into thinking youth is where it is at, I like your poem that focuses on true beauty, and our need to appreciate wisdom and kind words over fleeting youth and our so called culture of beauty. I think back to the woman who helped me with my flat tire, she was the prettiest face I saw that day.angel teddybear cheering bouquet
