Void of memories
Past, present and future times
Emptiness engulfs

Saw the tragedy of Alzheimer more clearly after reading this clever three liner my friend. A sad and more than familiar happening to many.
Very true dear Fay…and it sad that mankind is still behind and nothing can cure it apart slow the process…it’s suffering for both the patient and their closed ones…
worded so eloquently
that timeless quality of brevity
exemplified, with such sincerity..
thank you! dear Poet
Thanks a lot dear Mek…
i took care of my granny for years watching each painful step through the maze of Alzheimer’s. it is truly the worst disease.
It sure is….I can’t even imagine the pain you have been through…one of known people in the community had this and he didn’t no long remember us and later it was even worst…power to all who are going through it…
I wouldn't normally cut & paste but agree with every word Teddy said ...
this gave me goose-bumps Spills you have cracked both haiku and senryu flawless darling, so proud of you wow. Keep them coming 💖 💖💖💖💖💖 N 🙂 x
Thank you so much Dear Neville
Both Teddy and you are alighting the hot air balloon in me
I don’t know whether I am really that capable
Whether will I be able to live up the expectations of my friends
just let it happen and above all else, enjoy .................................. float on my friend 🙂
Okay I didn't expect to walk into a senryu but I'm so glad I did. My grandpa suffered from Alzheimer and I know just how saddening it is to watch someone practically "fade away." They begin to forget even things like a beloved family member's name, it's a fight. Thanks you for this marvel.
I am so sorry for you dear Rocky
I am sorry I scratched the wound again
It’s really overwhelming grief inside for the person suffering and for those who are close by
While emptiness eats the patient
The close ones suffer to see the pain of being erased of memories
Another crisp, and thoughtful one dear Spiller !!
Thanks a lot dear Vamsi…come join me and teddy in the world of haiku and senryu….
Yes dear Spiller !! will try it out one day for sure 🙂
An excellent 5/7/5 Spills, a summary of the tragedy of 'brain failure'.
So very right dear Rozina, the brain failure.
Thanks dear Rozina
Spiller, Also like the author's comment !!
Thanks dear Vamsi…..
Such emotive words spilleronsheet, my wife had dementia and passed away due to it so I know how this happens and affects all around.
Andy
I am sorry for your loss dear Andy….I have encountered one of the relatives who suffered from Alzheimer but hearing about you…I can’t even imagine how hard it would have been for you….I hope this could be cured…it really is a termite and makes people suffer….
The memories have not faded, it’s just that the reboot button is not functioning - most powerfully phrased
So very true
Memories intact they lay
It’s just, lost are the keys to reopen it
