BIRTHDAY POEM
Prompt - Birthday Poem : Write a poem inspired by birthdays
I would count the days, passing so slowly
Wondering over and over what would be
In the pile of presents on the day
As a child that's what my birthdays were to me
They came round with ever greater speed
Excuses to be someone else and I'd see
What food to eat, drink to get drunk on
As a man that's what my birthdays were to me
Now I will ignore those random days
Take long walks on sunny streets and by the sea
Forget reminders of time going past
I'm old now - that's what birthdays are to me
