Old poetry

An older woman writes poetry
She still comes to terms
With
Older.
There are contests
For older women
Just as there are contests
For younger women.
What's the difference?
Really
What's the difference?
Where's the dividing line?
Twenty
Thirty
Forty
Fifty
Sixty
Seventy
Eighty
Ninety
One hundred?
I creep up to sixty-five.
I write.
