I think I remember something

when I rember I forgot

then try to remember

what I forgot 

my head starts spinning 

 thickening the plot

 

I'm building puzzles

with puzzle pieces

from other puzzles

with the same cut

so they fit together

but they don't match up

Puzzles@72

At 72+ everything appears to be a puzzle. Yet it's just beautiful to embrace the years. Some puzzles are never solved and it doesn't really matter. I nostalgically remember your  Healing Lady days and my own Popeye days. Actually off late Just Scribbling on a Poets Only site is so so devastating mentally. But may you please convey that I still enjoy reading posts on this gorgeous blog. My regards and best wishes

I do so miss

I do so miss those old days. I think about them all the time. The ways we all danced around and played poetically. So many of us have mostly dropped off the map. Many blessings to you old friend.

Why haven't you written anything new in a long time? Are you retired now?

Hello MG  Are you still in the large motor trailer. I took quite some time to get back. Getting "bonky" with age

I'm in

I'm in a glorious palace of an old hippie school bus. Haven't been around the writing world for too long. Hope your holidays are bright

I like that, the pieces fit

I like that, the pieces fit but the picture doesn't make sense. Too much on the brain, the plate, the line... its okay to be on overload that's all the overlords seem to give us!

I hope you don’t mind..

I hope you don't mind. You had commented on a poem by Pam Schwetz titled 'WHEN ALICE THREW THE LOOKING GLASS'. Excuse me for yelling. Your comment referred to Humpty Dumpty. I responded to your comment. Unfortunately, Pam Schwetz deleted it. I thought you might enjoy it, so here it is.

 

One night, Donald Trump opened the door 

And there stood a beautiful whore

He said 'I'm Donald Trump. Gee,

It's you I want to hump, see?

If you're looking for Humpty Dumpty

He don't live here no more!'

Hello Morningglory!

Hello Morningglory!

Been a long time. How are you? What's the story?

How long has it been? Seems like an eternity 

To be clear, I said 'eternity', not 'paternity'

If you're unclear about paternity

We'll need to go on 'Maury'

You got it right with this

You got it right with this demonstration of what it's really like to keep it all straight in our heads. Welcome to my world. Great stuff. Love it!

You’re forgettable…

You're forgettable 

That's what you are

So forgettable

Can't find your car?

It must be somewhere 

In the parking lot

But where exactly 

That's what you forgot

Did you even take the car today?

Are you sure?

Really sure?

You're forgettable 

In every way

So forgettable 

Worse every day 

That's why it's so incredible 

That you think I'm unforgettable 

You wanted to tell me

But you forgot 

What you wanted to say

Thank you for posting this. 

Thank you for posting this.  The poem describes an emotion that all of us have experienced at some time and that many of us, I suspect, feel quite frequently.  In eleven brief lines, you describe it quite precisely, but those final two lines almost jump off the screen with the power of the truth that they present and declare.

I drive myself crazy
