(sighs)

groans

who flinches

i the elder

who rests

enjoys

who learned

from, my Mistakes.

Bravo Ian!! I believe this is your best so far!... what an awesome assignment...

This is cleverly written within an emotional timeline of life, as one ages...

P.S. I was especially intrigued by your play on words.. Well done!~xoxo~:)

The chronicle order of this...
plays out in the lines...
every changing slightly...
with age...

I'm glad you noticed that. I added in some intentional grammatical errors to point out the "mistakes"... symbolically, of course. Thank you for the review.
