at fifty, I believed a precious chapter had begun
I lit sparklers and filled my cup
toasting
my voice ringing clear and loud
but by sixty
the message felt muted
too many tick tocks watched
my hope wiped by ceaseless drama
by seventy I hope
my cup will fill once more
toasting
a new chapter begun again

Today’s Monday Wordle asked us to use the following words: chapter, clear, cup, drama, felt, fifty, message, muted, precious, sparkler, watched, & wiped.
Not sure what I’ve created here. Free verse? Sad screed?
You’ve done well with those words, Tina.
