. These days alone I live for my dreams So put me in a corner And let me be— For I can still hear The cuffs of her jeans Brushing the strings Of fallen leaves . [This message has been edited by Huan Yi (09-26-2008 09:26 PM).] |

John, There is nothing demented about this fine poem. Just the opposite, it describes a very good and vivid memory. Bobby |

"So put me in a corner And let me be" so well done, just wondering how many times I have thought those thoughts...hmmmm...by extension am I in dementia...that's enough to ponder on for quite a while...thoroughly enjoyed your write...think I'll go back to my corner... |

Not many people can write really good romantic poetry, John but you are a master. Ida |

This made me do a double read... Intriguing that you title it dementia. I see it as survival/healing.  I really liked this. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |
