But Still We Laugh.

Oh Goldie! This is very sweet. In my family we don\'t have dementia yet but my ex husband mother she has it has a long, long time. We laughed sometimes with her too because she got to be like a child. She laughs all the time and then sometimes she also cries for no apparent reason. She is going to be a hundred this year.

Gold - It\'s a tough situation you are in, but to be able to find humor anywhere in ones life is reason enough to go on living. When we laugh at ourselves we laugh loudest. To write about your situation, perhaps will help relieve some of the anxiety. Keep on laughing, keep on smiling, and keep on writing. - Phil A.

Goldie, this had me almost in tears. My adoptive mother had Alzheimer\'s Disease and anything she forgot of didn\'t bother in the least. I\'m sorry your wife has Dementia, but as you both laugh so much, isn\'t that still what life is all about? Long may both of you laugh Goldie. ; )

Goldfinch, this is such a beautiful, tender, happy/sad, but full of love poem. It made me remember the time I called my mom (I think she was 91 then) in Switzerland. She had had a massive stroke, was bed-ridden, and suffered of dementia as well. On the phone she told me that she had married again. Who did you marry, I asked. She was quiet for a moment, then broke out into laughter and giggled
\'I have no idea\'! We had a big laugh.
Your poem means a lot to me! Thank you!

This is so uplifting in such a sad way - a joy to read Andy. On the matter of laughter my wife and I are the same but (naughtily) we find what sets us off is being able to see the double entendre in perfectly innocent comments and phrases. The other night a chef referred to hot gingers and we were convulsed - we are total gigglers even at our ages.

Is Opera For Me?

As a vocalist, I do appreciate the fine voices that present opera, but must say it is not my favorite format for hearing a good voice. Well done poem, Goldie!

I have to agree with Michael here - opera has ever been fighting to get nearer to my heart via plots - yet the music has its own power to delight. A great piece of work.

Enjoyed your poem but just don\'t enjoy opera, not saying some of the music isn\'t beautiful because it is ... it just doesn\'t click for me .

Goldfinch, after reading your incredible poem I want to run out and listen to an opera!
And here is the other reason:

I have a love hate affair with opera. Being a realist I find the find the ludicrous plots a bit of an insult to the intelligence but then I hear the wonderful music and the scales begin to weigh in favour - my favourite memory: seeing Aida in Varona in the amphitheatre, just magical - this is a super piece of poetry Andy.

Your amazing ability to reach out and touch your reader is astounding. Ive seen you write amazing verse about dust and disappearing biscuits, so creative. But here your creativity and poetic prowess shine to astounding brilliance. Theatrical and very very moving. A must for my favourites.

I could imagine the stage and all of the sounds coming forth. They were united by one man, who in passing achieved a great feat. I felt surrounded by song.

What I see in this beautiful poem of yours, Goldfinch, is not the spider. It is the love for your wife shown in every line.
You are a good man, Charlie Brown!

Thanks Goldfinch! I really enjoyed your poem. I\'ve been working on a poem with spiders too. I\'ll probably publish it in the next couple days. Thanks again!
