Intentions

I meant to call you,
But I am so forgetful.
Friendship is fragile.
Gardens that are neglected
Dry out in the summer sun.

Premium Member I Hang Around Town

I hang around town 
With my fly open
And my underwear 
Pulled out

Just forgetful
Setting a trend
Or just
Cooling off the goods

She was never on time
bought her a watch
she loses things too

All About Me

Weird, crazy, sane,
Big, beautiful, thoughtful,
Forgetful, bright, silly,
All these words describe one thing,
Do you know what that is?
ME!

O Forgetful

As you run out of the house
You realize something is wrong
You try to think of it
As you go to work
You think hard
Then you remember it's
You wife's birthday

Forgetful

Without paper and pen
Thoughts through my head
Like raindrops falling
Never to be seen again

That Day

Winking sun through downpour trails
Earth foraging lives
Blackened standards show respect
In our sullen retreat
memories start to fade
The forgotten scar the forgetful

This is for you
Dear human being
Cos we don't like
One another not one bit
Read and enjoy
You forgetful cad.

FORGETFUL

Have you got to the top of the stair?
And wondered why you went up there
Come back down again
And you're searching your brain
Then you find what you want on the chair

Premium Member The Air Beneath

THE AIR BENEATH

passed the step-stool.
climbed high chair —
the air beneath
almost cheated me.
forgetful I am —
a causal effect
of midlife blindness.

It was inexcusable,
Mean,
Terrible,
Despicable, 
Horrible
Inevitable,
Inescapable,
The worst I had ever seen

What was it?

I stood and stared at her.
Wishing I could remember.

Like a Forgetful Fool

Like A Forgetful Fool

Politicians are like a forgetful fool;
Flying off handle having loose tool;
Hard to digest;
Interest in divest;
Also, are impatient and can be cruel.

Accidental Washings

Forgetful when it comes to my pocket jeans,
especially when its time to get cleaned,
chewing gum and phone,
after the wash I moan,
at times even laundering the green.

The Forgetful

somewhere out there,
someone has written a brief message 
in permanent ink
on their 
right hand,
reminding themselves not to wash their
left hand,
because they need to remember what they wrote
there.

Forgetful Farm Boy

There is once a boy who went to farm to cult bush
       Without cutlass on his hand,he has
           Reached the farm before
                He remembered
  He was forced to used his mouth to pluck the bush

Premium Member A Few More Screws Loose


            A few more screws loose, some buttons missing
                  forgetful more often than not

            Some days better, most days worse
                   just part of the prep for casket and hearse

Premium Member Despair

collanades
   of clouds
    black
   broken 
   reeds,
exhausted
wells, 
       empty
        cisterns,
forbidden
fearful
failed
       forgetful
          undone-
unheard-
     infrequent
     inviolable
reminescent-
now
departed

CASTRATED In ebony air on flight through night nothing is big or too far off figuratively speaking streams forgetful surf high pitch screams sandpits churn tough turf a wastage of egg rock inert © Kim van Breda—10 November 2015

Who Am I

I’m the next great thing
I’m the good and bad
I’m a mask
I’m a monster
I’m an angel
I’m striving for the best
I’m the worst
I’m forgetful
I’m resourceful
I’m positively hopeless
I am filled with hope
I’m the improbable doing the impossible
I am who I am
me

Premium Member Aging Woes

Forgetful moments, hair thinning,
Memories fading, ears ringing,
Hands wrinkled, boobs drooping,
Knees weak, words looping,
Silver top, hot flushing,
Bladder weakness, loo rushing,
Bones tired, sleeping less,
Couldn’t care, such a mess,
Eyes blurring, tummy tucks,
Getting older, really sucks.

Premium Member A Grandmas Blend

softly stirring their beds,
the gentle snore of calm.

the diffuser soothes the senses -
a grandma’s blend of lemon,
eucalyptus, peppermint, basil,
tea tree and rosemary.

allowing winsome dreams to croon
after the forgetful fit of coughing

A Silly Birthday Poem To Myself

Happy Birthday To Me
I'm Old As Can Be
I Am Forgetful 
And Lost My Memory
I Need Glasses To See
My Eyesight Will Flee
My Ears Constantly
Need Help To Hear Thee
To Bed I Will Be
My Dreams Are Set Free
I Soon Will Be Snoring
A Whole Lot Of ZZZZZZ's
