Dementia

easily puzzled
perplexed and bewildered
confused in a variety of ways
her pyrexic mind
encouraged latent pyromaniacal tendencies
dementia gone wild
house devoured in flames
singsong ritual and nonsense words
confusion and dementia
pieces of self scattered
easily puzzled

My father was also a victim of this horrible disease. He has been gone 8 years, but I remember it well.

WoW!! This is some fantastic poetry in quill thought motion, Caren. I LOVE deep-thinking poetry expressed in simplistic fashion. This is a poetic gem ... and it's going in my Fave file for sure. Love and best wishes for the holidays.

This disease can tear a person apart along with their families. Thanks for sharing

It is an awful thing to witness. It has affected my family naturally.
