Long Scatterbrain Poems

Have you ever been forgetful
When you're busy with a lot on your mind
As I do from time to time
Or just like me a scatterbrain

Like talking on the phone too long
And it ends up being a...

I have ADD.

Having... what I have's like playing billiards*!
I aim my thoughts
like a cue ball at a stripe**
and hit a solid** color...

It wipes me out!  I forfeit my next shot!
My Critic-of-all-dreams does the thinking,...

So you, say you so individual
truth to be comforted by original

And there on the pavement
as the collection of sidewalk shoes pass
the crowd stitched together by fashionable thread
in this beating brain box irrelevant
so constrained to the...

Nirvana awaits dada dear
thine paternal parent,
who helped sire yours truly,
a widower these
last fourteen plus years,
he laments absence,

and sorely misses presence
regarding scatterbrain spouse,
single word description,
he would readily concur
appellation linkedin with
bubbly headed just legal bride

born November thirteenth
ninety...

 Scatterbrain, I refrain from learning, yearn for better days.
 But alas, I feel dumb and dull, like unused clay.
Refusing to mould into something you desire.
If only you knew the struggle I bear, all you...

stay off the ground 
and live in lost beautiful sound 

up in the clouds above 
waiting and watching hummingbirds and doves

fairy tales roaming through my mind 
stories like no other kind 

can't see the forest...

Brain isn’t working, 
sawdust between my ears,
All the connections broken, 
can’t go through the gears,
I really am stupid,
more dense than railroad tracks,
A haze has descended, 
at least covering up the cracks.

Was sharp as a razor,...

lazy lips in tangle with A I
breathing secrets
I wonder why

why not
organize your thoughts, o scatterbrain
don’t be
a brain full of hay

eventual outcome -
the crows will pick your brain
s$it for brains

forgive my insane outburst
but the storm’s a-coming

I signed up 
for a sketching class 
but didn't count 
on a noble nude 

she entered the studio 
in a ritzy robe 
and I was suddenly 
riveted to my seat 

not beautiful 
nor buxom 
but...

About Pastimes

To be a scatterbrain is a blessing and a curse;
Jumping from play to play, immaturity at its worse.
Painting is so gripping while it’s being done,
Reading takes its reader to serious or fun.
Writing verse as...

Why is it so hard to be me
I don’t know who else to be
Trying hard to do right
Always ends up a fright

Then I don’t seem sincere
Might as well go have a beer
Why do I even...

ScatterBrain/ Misdeeds! ©


From my scrambled mind brews quagmires of twaddle--- 
I try to assimilate wisdom with lyrics….  
My mouth slags ‘lost’ for proficient words ---
And fall short...

"As dead as leaves" I'd taken leave
of any sense for life’s new lease.
My wish - to be the  centerpiece.
How very reckless to perceive

my charms like magic could unweave
tight-woven strands, pursuit's pet peeve.
Desire was merely...

I'm muddled up,
I'm barely sane,
I'm feeling like a scatterbrain

My thoughts are skewed,
My mind is fried,
My sense of calm just waved goodbye

This days been tough,
This weeks been long,
This year itself has all gone wrong

Please let it...
