  When the words won't come! Perish the thought! Nothing worse than poet's block, is there? Well done, Kurt!

  I agree with the other comments. The last line is the scary one. All the others are not so bad. Great poem Kurt, made me think.

    If you think of an Alzheimer's patient, the progression is frightening.

  Kurt, I did not think of Alzheimers, but now that you mentioned it, I re-read the poem again with this in mind, and you are absolutely right, it is even more than frightening. Was just yesterday talking with my brother in law who is also a very good friend, and told him that I would rather be physically damaged than lose my mind.

    So true, Fred. I'd give my eyes and voice before my mind. Unfortunately,
    we don't get to choose.
    
    Thanks
