Short Memory

If I repeat what I just said,
I know I could go back to bed
instead of laboring to pen
what has not already been.

But I fear I can’t recall
past things that I have spoken at all.
So here’s a rhyme placed at your feet
that chances are, I won’t repeat!!!

The  prompt for My Vivid Blog today is Repeat

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    Growing old is not fun and when it is something that continually happens to me, is forgetting what I wanted to say or write. Words are missing. Perhaps because I have two (three languages) revolving in my head – English,, German and Swiss German. Not to mention Some French, Italian and now and again Russian. It gets so confusing. Luckily I have the computer and my Iphone where I often find the word that is missing. Especially my phone, where I even write some words on a list that I tend to forget. Names are very complicated, and I have a list of nmes of relatives and friends. No getting old is not fun. Your verse says it all.
