Today – first in a series of doctor visits – I went to the Neurologist the day before Thanksgiving – a planned visit, a check up. BUT, I fell backwards at the grocery store. So he checked my walking when I got to his office. Said it’s not my knee, it’s my back. He proceededContinue reading “Immovable for real”

Today it happened
It took me twenty months just about for it to happen. I was eating breakfast when it just hit. Out of the Blue Blues Just eating my oatmeal Drinking my tea Minding my morning looking after me, When out of the blue a song touched me wrong or right made me miss hugging you tightContinue reading “Today it happened”
The poet’s heart
These flowers were brought to mind today. Yesterday even. They are no ordinary carnations. The week before my husband passed: outside of Walmart while sitting in the car, He looked at me with his beautiful blue eyes and said: “I want you to get yourself some flowers. Really pretty, like you.” I looked at himContinue reading “The poet’s heart”
Hiccup Transformation
Things can change in seconds, minutes, hours, days, years. Tonight right now I feel a little shell shocked, someone from somewhere on another site stopped and asked me how I was, and my reality was a little too much for them to bear, and they blocked me (on another site). Rather strange. I did notContinue reading “Hiccup Transformation”
The ladies on the hill
The ladies on the hill Hobble Bent over Crooked backs Labored breathing Weathered as the wizened oak Strong of character After years of use Alone and lonely Cracks in time and face Maintaining their space Until time stops late And they evaporate. 11-1-2022 Deborah D Fleet
There’s a Poem

They are whispered words, they are shared confidences, barely a touch, looking for more. Wondering if it is just imagination. They are your eyes lookingContinue reading “There’s a Poem”
Kitty’s Medical Needs
Dear friends, My faithful little sidekick and companion is having medical issues. Early in October, I noticed a swelling on her right side/jaw area. I contacted local Animal Welfare and they gave me names of Vets they work with to help senior citizens. On the 14th the area/ abscess(?) ruptured, and she was bleeding, aContinue reading “Kitty’s Medical Needs”
Four Walls
Four walls Four walls A door swings both ways Go in or out. Lights on, lights off, Hot water, heat, And an air bed on the ground. Wake each morning Grounded. Alone Except for a cat Four walls. 10-25-2022 Deborah D Fleet
For Arms – is actually Those Eyes
The Link to the original poem – For Arms – I did finally complete the song I have been working on (why I have been off wordpress – I have been writing, singing, playing). So here is the “Real” rendition, although I forgot two lines – I will catch that on the next chance toContinue reading “For Arms – is actually Those Eyes”
Distraction: Taking a moment
Sometimes it is hard to focus when the realities of survival hit you in the face too many times. I long to just sit and write, and play, and sing. But I have to look at the bottom line, so I follow all the lines in a book to find what’s real and what needsContinue reading “Distraction: Taking a moment”
