Ex
The pine trees are tall
covered with snowflakes and ice
swaying in the wind
soon it will all sadly melt
but it was a sight to see.

How Old is Old
I think old is 70, here are three reasons why.
One reason is that old people lose their mobility and have to use canes, walkers, and scooters. A lot of people find it harder to do things like bathing, walking, normal day chores etc. They feel this way because their bones, joints, and muscles start to hurt.
My second reason is they lose their hearing. When you try to talk to them they can't hear you. Many times they get hearing aids small devices that help them hear. When they can't hear you it gets frustrating.
My third reason is they live in old folks homes and mostly sit around all day because of their age and health. But they like it when you visit them because they don't get out much. They live in these homes because they are too old to take care of them selves or they are sick.
Not all old people live in old folks homes or have body conditions. Some are active and eat healthy and have good mobility. These are my reasons to say "How Old is Old."
