'a Distant Recall'

her heart now scattered
picture perfect memories 
a distant recall
clinging to familiar things
in pursuit of what makes sense

It is so hot here in Ohio the last few days and they say stay in if you can. Well I can and so I thought this would be a wonderful day to thank everyone for their kind comments on my poetry. So I say thank you to you for the kind words and for sharing your amazing poetry with us Wilma. Love, Carol

wilma, this sounds like you are describing alzheimers. Did i get it right?? (well, now that I think about it, it could also be someone simply with a broken heart!) In any event, very nice, Wilma.

Quite deep. Slightly veiled and yet so vivid! Excellent!

Reminds me of an elderly woman who has Alzheimer's, Wilma. She stays close to things that are "familiar" and "make sense," but sometimes rambles on about memories from youth. The stories seem to change all the time. Surely, this could be a poem about a lost love -- it just touched me in another way. Love, Carolyn
