Life In Reverse My journey’s ending where it first began, a clownish act reversed in backward mode, as brain cells scramble forth to read the code. Perhaps I need a comprehensive scan before diminished cells embrace implode. My journey’s ending where it first began, a clownish act reversed in backward mode. I search to find a worthy rescue plan my baby steps lead up and down the road so often saddled with another’s load. My journey’s ending where it first began, a clownish act reversed in backward mode, as brain cells scramble forth to read the code.

It is indeed something...nature taking us back to where we began. Nothing like it to remind us that we are not in total control of our life. A not so easy experience. I like the form. Complex like terzanelle and villanelle where one must be able to fit the repeating line to the following stanza. Hi Cona, how've you been? Hope you're keeping well.

Yes, Kim. Doing very well. Have been inactive on Poetry Soup, but busy with other activities. We're out of state frequently due to a sister-in-law who has Alzheimer's. Her husband is her sole caregiver, and we go often just to give him a bit of a break. It's sad, but he's wonderful with her. Your visit is much appreciated.
