Long Misplacing Poems

I often surprise many people in many ways
With the words I say…with the actions I make…
It’s extraordinary how many seek high praise
With the words they say…with the actions they fake…

Neither will I…
Assume the worst in...

I have been reluctant to write this poem
Because I don't want to disappoint anyone
from going to heaven
I have been reluctant to write this poem
Because it has been a heavy burden
Yesterday  a little past noon

But a strange change happens
at early nightfall
in those stuffy rooms and halls
and it suddenly becomes clear
all was not as it seemed
old folks transformed
so cunning and keen
sparkling iridescent
playful, plucky, pleasant
flagrantly libertine!

Like children slowly scampering
out of bed...

One of the cruelest aspects of Alzheimer’s is the way this disease unfolds…
how it’s able to disguise itself, at first, as just a part of growing old:

It began with her misplacing and forgetting things for...

With warmest regards and the saddest lament
I write this small note with the best of intent

The newspaper’s account of your husband’s death
Made me feel as if I was short of breath

As the son of a...

What Goes Unseen

A gnome sits by the pantry,
Watching the in’s and out’s of wares,
Thinking how it all may be his.

Meanwhile, the sprites 
   take over the living-room, 
Misplacing  and mussing

ADHD
Life with adhd
Our brains work differently
We have a lot of hyperactivity
We are good at what we can do
But just struggle to focus as good as you
We can get distracted very easily
Excessive talking and being fast...

Misplacing my soul,
Drenching it in more misery,
Life has put me in places
That I don’t want to be,

Confusing the unsolved problems,
The web complicates itself,
Concealing all the answers,
That I desperately seek,

The pain,
That swims in my flesh,
Tearing me...

It began with her misplacing things…and progressed to not knowing who I was…
She would wander away from home…for that is what Alzheimers does.

Yet other times she knew me well, she knew where she was…and when…

Death shall bring loves
Life shall also too
I felt compelled to sniff the likes
Around the air, so cool

Eagerly I looked for the tenderness of you
Deep into that darkness kissing
What could there be more purely missing?
To warn...

I've almost forgotten it.
It got too big -
holes appeared,
entire towns fell through
my memory.

The Forbidden City
is a convoluted red and gold ribbon,
my mind cannot now untangle.
Images float off the ink
of curling maps.
Snapshots flutter
like flags in a...

Merlin The Magic Cat

They said they chose Merlin early last month
Because of the colour of his ears,
Yet Merlin’s been stalking the gardens around here
For almost thirty-nine years!

They said magic was a myth, a story, a...

Deadlocked
What tipped the scales
what has caused the rift,
the straw that added the extra
weight...Or was it a feather?

Have the lights gone out, has the grid
finally, broke?
Leaving us again depending
on God; And his scary Revelations.!

Clutching our blankets...

A BUNCH OF “WHY'S”

Could you tell me why most hippopotami
Weigh about the same as a truck
In the animal kingdom diets aren't common
So they're really poop out of luck

A donkey with wings or an ass that...

If you are wise, you will heed this call
And never over-trim your nails,
Or bite them raw til the pain makes you stop.

You should always leave enough nail showing,
In case you go over the edge of...

Watching it spin on an axis of shame
Collecting my thoughts in the cool summer rain
Whispering now cause I just can't complain
Well, it's the least I can do

As she places her hand over his heart,
The promise kept meant more than being apart,
She never cared about social views,
She honored the love in her heart that was true,
His heart was more important than what...

Monopolies, duopolies and oligopolies spell danger
Collecting scraps of personal data, averting due tax
Mingling with and tingling a ribald ranger
Displacing, misplacing and suppressing the affable axe.

Monopolies in information technology cyberspace
Slay democracy, lay foundations for autocracy
Manipulating and...

I have this fire breathing inside me
I'm ready to make changes 
So others will see 
That anxiety 
Will not defeat me

Up at night 
I can hardly sleep
Anxiety cuts deep
Too many thoughts racing
Constantly misplacing
My thoughts

I'm hungry...
