AI or not? There\'s a smidgin of ambiguity in your comments, Tobani. Anyway, as a \"Mad dogs and Englishmen\" theme it definitely passes muster.

You British wear socks with sandals?! I ignorantly believed Washington state held the corner on that strange phenomenon. No kidding! Lobster indeed, thanks to the eye in the sky. Beautifully rendered with gorgeous imagery and a very haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Love the lightheartedness and imagery in each line. The rhyming was great and a certain humour caught my spirit reading it-

Hello Tobani,
The best bank of all, the bank of friendship where one\'s profits payed out in companionships. A perfect senryu. Well done!
All the best,
Tony.

Sometimes you need to see what is broken in order to make it whole again. Insightful poem!

I Thought I`d Prepared.
Goldfinch60 said:
This actually happened to me Tobani, my wife of nearly forty years had dementia and I watched her get worse over the years, she ended in a care home and then in hospital, I was with her when she passed her last breath and the way I looked at it was that it was a release for both of us. It was hard to come home to an empty home but I went through the various stages of grief, shock and denial; pain and guilt; anger and bargaining; depression, reflection, and loneliness; the upward turn; reconstruction; and acceptance and hope.
I now say to people that think they know about dementia if you haven\'t lived 24/7 with somebody who has dementia you haven\'t a f*****g clue.
I wrote many poems about this.

Damaso said:
Well, I can\'t help but vibrate with great emotion reading the lines of this text, the conflicting feelings. Too much reasoning and idealization about such intense pain. The mind can border on madness every day. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing. Best regards.

Cheeky Missy said:
I was relieved when Daddy joined Mom because he never ever stopped missing her. For myself, I knew I would never forgive losing them. What I feared was gradually losing the sense of them and moving on. Why, oh why do your fears seem to triumph?! Otherwise, I\'m still half dead, only a shell of who I was before my mother passed away. Gorgeously rendered with exquisite poignancy and excellent imagery. Thank you so very much for sharing. I..

You have captured that so well. I have been riding shotgun at many a time such as this and attest to its relatability and resonance.

What a powerful poem! I don\'t think we\'re ever prepared for a loved one to die. I know I wasn\'t after 43 years. May you find peace and happiness along the way. My heart goes out to you, may you heal.
