Drew's Poetry Prompts - 7. Poetry Prompt 5 Rhymes and Couplets

Poetry Prompt 5
At Twenty One
 
I thought I felt old at eighteen,
Adult world, newly seen.
Three years on, a lifetime ahead,
Here at this watershed.
 
Alas, I was but a child then,
Joining this club of men.
And still, I feel I don’t belong,
But, I’ll continue on,
 
Because at age one and twenty,
I have time aplenty.
 
Thank you all for your birthday wishes, y'all made my day even more special! :hug:

So now we are twenty one; your couplets are very well done; and once you immerse into this kind of verse, you'll have only just started the fun! ... ThanksDrew

Thanks Parker! It was really fun writing this poem, trying to find words that rhymed and keeping it to the 8-6-8-6 pattern. :)

This is a well written poem Drew.  At twenty one I felt like I was on top of the world.  In retrospect I realize that I was still a child at twenty one.  I hit my stride at thirty, so I'm wondering what you will say in your poem for your thirtieth birthday.  ❤️
