Reality is so hard to face and you have gone through heaps jerry and thank God for your sense of humor. It's like a lucky or unlucky dip picking out the prize of suffering in our latter years. Just hang in there with your wonderful Alison, your humor, your talent for writing (even if you only just look at what great stuff you have written) oh! and how you can read other poet's work! love Karin
Wow, the experince is so real, and the wry humour in poem. Better enjoyed this way.
Very good, many times a clinical thing when said can sound like a morbid joke; like perhaps if you were suddenly told that you were about to put the pill in the wrong end of the elephant.
this is very cleaver work - so little to bind it together as poetry and yet it is has unity and an charm. Very good work
Jerry, This is a great poem. The last two lines of the first stanza sound brilliant. You use a simple alliteration to great effect there. That this is (?) autobiographical, shouldn't detract from the univeral appeal of the narrative. It is great that the old guard is still here battling it out!
Darling, it's your irreverent sense of humor that I love so much about you. This is very good. Very good indeed. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Yes but did he start out as an atheist.... and just grow longer.... cough... pleeezze
Well written Jerry, you might like to read my poem 'The Trumpet' which is a true story about a friend of mine. Just for a laugh. We will have the whole process in poetry once you have experienced it all, and I shall be the first to read it. Excellent piece. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
