Esther Chilton’s Writing Prompt: CLASSIC
28 October 2026
Some Things Never Grow Old
They call it classic when the years have passed,
When something beautiful was built to last.
A melody, a story, a familiar refrain,
That takes us back through time again.
From Vivaldi’s strings to a pounding beat,
To dancing all night on tired feet.
The nineties called, and I answered with pride,
With Mr. Vain playing, I was ready to ride!
A classic film, a favourite book,
An old photograph deserves another look.
A thousand memories, both laughter and tears,
Treasures collected throughout the years.
Some classics hang in galleries grand,
Some come from a poet’s trembling hand.
Others are songs that refuse to fade,
Or precious memories that time has made.
And growing older? Well, here’s the twist,
We’re becoming classics on somebody’s list!
A little more vintage, perhaps a touch rare,
But still with the music and plenty of flair.
So turn up the volume, let the memories flow,
Dance like we did all those years ago.
For age is a number, but joy is fantastic—
And darling, we’re not getting old. We’re becoming classic!
💜
With love, coffee, poetry, and stardust,
