Flash 55 Friday - The Way We Were, #1 - Aloha - January 7, 2011

Carmen in Honolulu in 1976, 32-years-old

No turkey neck that I can see,
No wrinkles on my face,
Though my butt is hidden in this shot,
There's no cellulite any place.

At sixty-six, all that has changed,
The leis still would fit,
But the lovely dress I wore back then,
I long ago got rid of it.

What great memories!



I am participating in Flash 55 Friday, the brainchild of Mr. KnowItAll.
Check it out and join in the fun!

  9. Like fine wine it gets better with age, lovely verse, and a really nice photo of you, time to celebrate the journey and all you have experienced and learned along the way to make you who you are now, a beautiful sage woman.

    lots of warm wishes

  23. The idea of "change" only exists in the mind... besides, if the leis can fit, so can the dress! You shouldn't have thrown it after all :)
    A sweet 55, Carmen...
    Verse on..
