A humorous cinquain chain celebrating the extraordinary powers of ordinary elders

This World Elder Awareness Day, we pay tribute to those who are most deserving, yet, at times, sadly forgotten.ย
Many have gone one step beyond and embraced powers that stretch our imagination.ย They've survived every sequel.
Come find out what they can do.

Super Gran
She finds them all
Missing keys and remotes
Treasures beneath the curtain's fall
And wall.

Super Feed
"Eat! Chew!" "Eat! Chew!"
Bites at the heart of all.
Scones, cakes and waffle treats that strike
Too full.

Sooth Say
Old Gran who knows
But keeps the knowledge caged,
Even as it grows hardened wings
And flies.

Battle Axe
Tough one fights on
So the rest fight ever
Trials defeated, lessons gathered
And learned.ย

The Elders
League of Toughness
Powers without the capes
That push all on and sustain life.
For all.

Mirrors of the Mindย by Michelle Liew is a collection of psychological and supernatural short stories that explore the quiet unease beneath ordinary moments. These are not tales of spectacle, but of subtle fracture โ where memory distorts, silence speaks, and the self is not always singular. In these stories, what is unseen often carries the greatest weight, and what lingers is not what is shown, but what is felt.
