BARBARA’S  POEM

 If I were really serious (or had been)
I would have written
POETRY 

When I was 65
Or maybe  55?
Not at 75! 

Words elude me
Slither off my mind
Empty spaces are
Forever between
The graceful phrases
That I thought (or know) were there 

No slant of rhyme
      for me
No alliterative line
No grace of complete (?) 

Dissolve ~~~~~~~~~~~(?)
line – mind –
Deconstruction
     at it’s worst! 

Obscurity to oblivion
       in so few years….
