Welcome to this weekend’s Suddendeath poetry challenge, Bundle of joy

Tweet

Anyways, rules are as follows, write a poem in any style using the five words that I give you. Write it in one sitting or in under an hour (only to quash your inner editor, rules are loose there). Add it here, OR link in a comment so we can enjoy each other’s' poems. The words can be in any plurality or tense. Today’s words are: baby, life, birthday, joy, bundle As always my version is below: Birthdays come and birthdays go We all grow older was we know. Start as babies then grow old. As life’s journey we follow all told. What joy it might be to switch that up And start from old to regain youth’s cup. Age backwards and youth regain Living backwards with more energy again. At long last a bundle we shrink down too, As care and cuddles happen before time for adieu As we appeared, so we leave A life lived backwards no time to grieve.
