Very well said ... !
I will NOT look at my hands as I type :-)
Ah, a definite truth here.
And beautiful hand they are; as this reminds me of my mother's hands. Thank you. We just drove through CD last night. Man, you have a lot of snow.
That skin sounds better than mine, all that and dry, too.
Love the fractal!
I agree with Christine, I think of my mom when I think of old hands. Crone doesn't fit with that, though. It is my own hands getting old that bothers me!
..often heard pundits drub sentimentality-but very much like this well crafted poem -
because of the sentimentality encapsuled therein ..many thanks..
Yes, indeed - I choose a new way to look at aging, and this is it!

A reward indeed. I'm almost there.
This gave me goose bumps, not sure I understand them this time though..
Will ponder it more!
Oh the rewards of aging....

the spots means you've live, so I think it is an award in a way
I would endure being a crone if only for this moment! Beautifully said.
Nicely said, as I look at mine...
Terrific imagery in this haiku.
Nice job! :D
Terrific. Three powerful lines.
Wonderful!!!Three powerful lines
veins on hands - wisdom of years gained, i supposed......
Your words are so visual!
A very powerful haiku.
Delightful image. I could look at if indefinitely. The verse is even better.
But those contain so much wisdom and love..

And please do visit the Poetry Train being run each Monday!
oh dear, I must be a crone! Actually a lovely poem, very vivid.
Sue, what a great take on the prompt. Excellent as always.

The word 'crone' ha negative connotations for me so is juxtaposition with 'reward'is interesting.
Wonderful response to this theme! I love the word crone ... and you could be describing MY hands ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
