Combining two prompts together again today because, well, I can!
Day 20 of Linda’s #JusJoJan challenge with the prompt below;
The Just Jot It January 20th prompt, brought to you by Deborah of the blog, Notes Tied on the Sagebrush, is: “Transcendent.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Deborah as well! Here’s her blog: https://notestiedonthesagebrush.com/ .
And week 3 of Sacha’s new, improved #writespiration prompts.
SO, your challenge if you choose to accept it, is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
This weeks theme:
Lost Things
Certain things, once lost, can never be ‘found’ again.
She learned that the hard way.
Famous once for her transcendent beauty, she had it all.
Then that damn thing called ‘Age’ happened.
No amount of surgery helped.
If anything, each treatment seemed to bury her looks further.
Who said beauty is ageless?
But I Smile Anyway...

I think there is beauty in age, and wisdom in the wrinkles. It’s a shame that society values everlasting youth rather than appreciating the natural process of time. Beautiful poem, Ritu!

yeah a wise lesson for young people here – age gracefully… outrageously, but gracefully nonetheless

Good take, sis! It is sad when people desperately try to do everything to escape the inevitable. It makes it even worse!
