I’m waiting for something to happen
Something exciting like winning a prize
or becoming twenty years younger -
think of the pleasure that I would derive
if I were once more able to rise
un-creaking, un-groaning ,
skip round the floor in a jive -
that kind of pipe-dream surprise

how you came up with this?!?!?!i would have never managed to say so much in 6 little words. pass that 20 yrs younger my way when your done with it please!
Those shadows – the difference between agililty of actual joints vs. what one’s heart feels… you and Jock are still jumpin’, jivin’ cats, you know. Or is the Tom and Kitty? (hee hee)
We’re getting there as well but refuse to admit it, even as I fall over during yoga classes and Lex can’t even BEGIN the free weights at our modest neighborhood health club! Amy
Oh, it’s a delightful thought!
I love this post & picture! Perfect!
I kniw that feeling too
So true…so true! I am like the picture…but dancing in my spirit!
A fantastic image to go with your wonderful poem. I wish that I could make it come true for you.:)
I’m with you on this one, V. I’m definitely the people in the photo, not their shadow selves. Still, my advaced maturity is giving me some extra traction when the neophytes in the office come seeking advice.
My joie de vivre doesn’t come
my the car is six feet under
millionaires win lotteries
have mimosas with their toast
my beans and bread are getting
cold. Wood’s out under the snow
webcam at the Abbey road
shows better world over there.

Had coffee now, brushed my teeth (new Six)
So I’m feeling more up n ow. While brushing I was trying to decide if I’d seen your shadows of imagination picture hanging in an art gallery someplace. I tried your credit link to find it has been highjacked and is the same as http://www.whiterockmedco.com/. Bummer.

I too thought I’d seen it before – I think it was on a prompt site a long time ago.
Eeew. Anything that’s called “medco” has to be evil, I’m sorry the picture is on their site. I’m sure they didn’t ask permission or visit a prompt site!! (Yes, I labor under the delusion of quality prescriptions from Medco!) Amy
What a wonderful poem—and I love the image you chose to go with it!
Happy Saturday. ☺
Wouldn’t that be great!
Maybe the prize is that I might have found a solution to our piano problem thanks to a visit to the pub last night. Sally
I love this poem, Viv. It’s full of joie de vivre!
My initial stab at 6-w-S today was “I don’t have anything to say”! I’m not exactly feeling any joie de vivre, specially when I got up to find the white world and whirling snowflakes outside!
Ooooh what a cool cool photo!! It so pictures your beautiful words. I love your poem. It actually didn’t even need that photo, I got the picture just from reading! Anyway, I love your entry for today!
Fabulous .image, Viv. Wish I had that magic wand for you
love it!
but I am sure you are still dancing a jive inside!
