Good write N. Witty fido says \'To fail to prepare is to prepare to fail\'. Banjamin Franklin - though some sources say he didn\'t say it originally. In which case, probably Fido said it originally, he that fount of wisdom, knowing 99% of all there is to know, having an anthology of 5 million proverbs, witty sayings, etc!
Fido I mean, not me. lol.
Also \'To beat an egg is to have an egg beaten\'. (Eh? lol).

Perhaps I am being a simpleton, I felt the poem to be an eloquent portrayal of unexpected turn of events and how they catch us off guard, no matter how much we believe we are well prepared. Loved it

Love this. He enlightens and advises all to reassess what used to mean or what before solved or what to depend on.

This is Shakespeare being cheeky-love the imagery of “Dark as a drawer full of shadows folded…”

Just enough twist and turns in this folded drawer to give this poem, the interest of looking for that lost piece. Most lovely with great word choice.

I know all about dementia Neville, my wife had it and died from it. If people have not lived 24/7 with somebody who has dementia they haven\'t a clue about how awful it is.

Sensitive and compelling. Perhaps many of us have experienced the confusion and frustration at seeing someone we knew throughout our lives disappearing slowly but inevitably.

Strategically Lost
Cheeky Missy said:
Keep me hogtied thus with sheer intrigue as your note in conclusion begs off further and I\'ve tried to be good, to fail miserably. Whatever the import, tis expertly rendered with such delicious imagery and that exquisitely haunting poignancy which only winks mischievously at me.

That has rammed its way close to home. I\'ve still to process some moments and episodes from experience. Since it runs in the family that may be a factor for the near future to consider. mmm.... but good to read about it and meditate some.

Although I have never personally experienced it, I have seen it in many others, and this is the most poetic and apt description of it. Lovely if one could say such a thing about such a sad illness.

Holding Back the Smile
arqios said:
In situations of tension and restraint, we all need to retain a modicum of emotional and psychological autonomy which reflects our exercise of control over our own spirit and identity and the retention of our dignity, however frayed in confrontation. The quiet expression of defiance and self-possession moves and evokes, raw provocation in verse!

\"....No more\" Eh?! Dear, dear vault within each of us, containing such a wealth even we shall never fathom. And thus the elusive \"he\" is a mystery, even to himself. Beautifully rendered with a haunting poignancy and excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing. [I\'m pulling third shift...]
