Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Her Castle of Confusion

I am building a castle with my hands and my feet.
I have sand in this bucket and a sandwich to eat.
There are broken shells on the beach, they can be used.
Don’t tell me I can’t; for I am terribly confused.

I am adding soldiers, so you will leave me alone.
Don’t speak to me unless you are taking me home.
I am building a castle with my toes in a pure happy day.
Alzheimer be damned, don’t take my reason away.
