Poem -
Memory loss
Interruption: train of thought lost
Brain never working as before.
Hardly fathom, realistic cost?
Was once amenable: now tore.
Now tore, words subside to frost
Dreamers divergence, losing score
almighty, the dealer's high cost
Perception still blurred - once more.
Once more, try finding all embossed
Delving deep; fragile is the core
Lost compartment, lines being crossed
Process embedded, truly sore.
Truly sore, fragments feel unglossed
Brain never working as before
Interruption, train of thought lost
Life changes, here's to its encore!

Hey Lorna, how are you, I really enjoyed reading this one. Seems to be an impeccable flow to your poems, something that one can aspire towards. Hope your doing well!
Thanks that is very kind of you to say, I'm glad you liked this one it's been redone as the first was a little deplorable hahha
I am doing well and hope the same for you, I'm just going to have a look at your recent work now

You really nailed it here Lorna with this reality gem and superb rhyme to embellish it.
I won't ask you how long it took you to write.. so how long did it take you to write?
Just kidding, but you see where I'm coming from a writing time angle,
for some are easy peasy lemon squeezy to write while others are time demanding due to the old noodle and diminished train of thought.
Simply to focus on a poem and resolve it within good time and
not to fall into 'the hit and run' complacency category spread over what seems like eternities (weeks really!) but you know what I mean, precious, beloved time spent and getting nowhere fast.
Stuck in Limboland as we Catholic's say.
Anyway, full honours to you Lorna for telling how it can be and hey you finished it regardless of any obstacles trying to block your mind of poetry thinking and reasoning.
Thanks Lorna and all good things to you :) x.
Hi Shaun,
thanks so much for you comment, I really appreciate it, yes and of course you're spot on, somtimes everything flows perfectly from brain to page, but other times a little more precision is needed and those always take much more time than planned. Im really glad you took the time to analyse this one
love
Lorna :) x
This is far more cleverer than wot I shall ever be .. but to almost quote Cher .. 'it aint easy babe' .. although you do make it appear so .. Much respect .. Neville xx
"If I could turn back time?"
In Chers words 😁..as for cleverness...its just alot of repeating myself..erm over and over again and over again
hope you are doing canny and jet lag free
Lorna xx
It ain’t me babe .. but the ability to turn back time would be a fine thing .. yes jet lag free and about to start another week of on call which I am far from fond of xx
Oh dear, I take it you work in health...busy time of year...I used to work in ED, so..busy busy busy
Hope you keep your sanity!!
lorna xx
I am a locum clinical specialist in adult psychiatry & substance misuse with special interests .. so yes, I hope I keep my sanity too xx
Ahhh..yes you definitely need to keep your sanity!!.. working in ED we had many substance users/abusers at our desk,
it's such a shame their issues weren't highlighted before they started dulling their mental health problems with substances....but unfortunately people hide their problems through shame ect...I bet it's a very rewarding position when you see the positive outcomes

No one ever sets out to become either addicted to anything or homeless and not everyone seems to know that many people with mental health concerns and in particular, those with severe, recurring and or enduring forms of mental illness, tend to self medicate with so called illicit or dubious substances, because they so often either have some therapeutic value or distracting action that provides some respite from distressing symptoms .. Sometimes even with less side effects than the medications that I prescribe .. Having got that off my chest, yes it can be very rewarding ..
Cheers, Neville xx
