Truth For Some of Ous

answer to an "ous" challenge about truth

adventurous youth, quite often uncouth

amorous intent, rarely kept pent

boisterous and loud, head in the clouds

capricious commitments, too often facetious

unconscious choices, yield unhappy voices

covetous desires, much time requires

delicious bodies, in clothes that are shoddy

disastrous decisions lead to derision's

fictitious, malicious intent 

lead many youth to repent

 

generous laughter 

brings joyous rapture

glorious maturity 

brings a certain purity

harmonious peace 

and strife does cease

when luscious, precious age comes on

and monstrous, tedious youth is gone

 

I find this premise incredulous

but know it is truth for some of ous

Oh for sure it's the truth for some of ous! I've often said, "If I'd only known then what I know now."
Now at the young age of 66, I like who I am...LOL.

Fantastic write papaed! Truer words were never said.
O that we could have the wisdom of age when we were
younger, but maybe that wouldn't work in the grand scheme
of God's plan for ous!

Placing this poem for your first featured one!

As incredulous as couscous.

A well disciplined piece of nonsense and a lovely flourish at the end, well penned.

"generous laughter

You captured youth and maturity so very well in this piece. I had a nice trip down memory lane as I read. Remembering my crazy youth and now.... I think my harmonious age... filled with laughter, chaos, joy and children being just like I was.
Well done!
