On 29th September, writer Sarah Butler worked with Elders Company members to explore the language used about age and ageing.
She took inspiration from the words the group came up with, and the conversations they had about them to create this mini-collection of poems.
A Dictionary of Age
Bed-blocker
We dreamt the NHS
brought it into life
with smudged ink
stamped onto card
after card
after card
Beginning
Let’s start over
every time the sun lifts itself
above the rooftops
Freedom
To dance if I want to
to cry if I please
Past-it
Past what?
Says who?
I am stepping into the future
always
Vintage
Wine
cars
clothes
we are all the rage
Wrinkly
Time as a passing gift
taken in both hands
See What's On
