Image: Rembrandt's 'Old Man in a Chair' (here)the 12 given words:
shame rattle until come crossroads
shame rattle until come crossroads
call toll fall suspect path word hands
what a crying shame
he could rattle their names
very easily with no difficulty
and until recently
he was quite happy
now he did come to the crossroads
a call in a different mode
it is now taking its toll
in for a fall
a suspect unsuspecting
along the path lurking
please not a word just a pity
his hands full but feeling empty
he is now overtaken
by dementia and forsaken

What a thought provoking poem Hank, As one gets older (I have got older) Dementia is all too common. Scary to say the least.
ReplyDeleteTake care.

That is very sad...
ReplyDeleteThat sure stinks indeed. Never good to have the memory fade
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad, and way too widespread.
