Burnished Ballads Wrinkled Rhymes: On Aging

By Isolde Izzy Hunter

After publishing her first book, an autobiography in verse-form in 2012, Isolde 'Izzy' Hunter has now turned her thoughts to her present and remaining years encompassing the vicissitudes of aging. At 76, this single parent of one son (she claims as her greatest blessing), faces her 'golden years' simultaneously with bravado, increased introspection, fear, humor, acceptance, and faith. It is the story of millions of other seniors around the globe, who now find themselves, to their own amazement, still living and doing. "Burnished Ballads, Wrinkled Rhymes" is written in three parts: the past, some elderly opinions on today's world, and finally, facing the inevitable. Ms. Hunter hopes that perhaps others might find some amusement, even comfort, in these verses she shares. As a former professional night-club singer she notes that no matter how old we are, "we can still hear the music, we can still sing the song".
