Old Poems
Ol’ Bloody Brush
by Bogdan Dragos
the old man stank

The Old Gods
by Dannie Abse
The gods, old as night, don't trouble us.
Poor weeping Venus! Her pubic hairs are grey,
and her magic love girdle has lost its spring.
Neptune wonders where he put his trident.
Mars is gaga - illusory vultures on the wing.
Pluto exhumed, blinks. My kind of world, he thinks.
Kidnapping and rape, like my Front Page exploits
adroitly brutal - but he looks out of sorts when
other unmanned gods shake their heads tut tut,

Memories of Old
by Franklin J. Warren
At my age of eighty nine,
The body is no longer fine,
It is now memories that hold sway,
And they come day by day!
Beautiful moments that were mine,
Due to lovely ladies so kind,
Their faces etched in memory so clear,
And their voices also that I remember dear!

Young-Old
by V B Eudaimonia
While I was young,
I cared about hero, more than the villain
And, now I'm old,
I care about villain, more than the hero.
