A Med-It-Ation

My writing requires an edit
After each line I regret it
It can't get much worse
Load this verse in a hearse
As readers try to forget it

Hello there, you're too funny up there. I'm fine, still have all my fingers and toes. The brain on the other hand is a different story :)

Hi Debby….hope it’s not too bad. We all lose some cognitive ability as we age, but nature is unforgiving to some of us. You have a loving poetic style that will stand the test of time. A sweetness that seems unique. I hope you will stop by and say hello every so often. That means a lot. Smiles to you.

oh gosh I simply can't find one to comment on!! Now I'm on fifth best one (according to Soup ) and I see I was first to comment to this one back in 2013!! I think it's funny how they have our poems ordered by "best" based on faves we probably get (or most comments or something) anyway, this truly is one of your best!!
