To keep the monthly filing cabinet going but not interested in writing about the Olympics and other sports.

I wonder where you’ve been to,
I wonder where you went,
Looking at the numbers,
No time on here was spent.
Were you doing good things?
Were you having fun?
Were you being lazy?
Getting nothing done?
It has been so lonely,
No communication sent,
I wonder where you’ve been to,
I wonder where you went!

I've been to Rome
round the houses
with hubby,
who Leeds me
on a merry dance.
He heads next to Houston...
Who's town?
I can't remember.
Then off to see Tomintoul,
but he was at France
down the road.
Where next?
We come up Bonn
a river, find
the Po for the Bern.
It's been a busy time.
Now I Moscow.

Her white coat blows in the breeze
As she stands there contemplating
The countryside around.

Something then causes her to sneeze-
Pollen from flowers emanating
Perhaps triggered the sound.

Still she smells the rustle of leaves
Chattering on each branch, awaiting
Conversational ground.

The birds all perch in the trees,
Loose feathers flying off, creating
A soft carpet, she found.

She hears the leaves and birds seize
The chance, and communicating
Their desire, chase the hound.

Tail aloft, ears cocked, she sees
Heartfelt joy escaping
And follows with a bound.

[sound of running getting louder] I've ...huh huh...been ...huh...posting in the olympics...huh..thread...excuse...must get back there in case..huh.. took a wrong turning and ended up miles away in treatments..huh huh huh bye.[sound of running fading]

ps ellemac - very clever
cheers

POSTS

I've read so many posts
And I don't know what to say
To solve the problems, allay the fears
That we each have day to day.

Some days good, some days bad,
Some people worse than others.
I wish I had a remedy
For all these sisters and brothers.

I know so little about PD,
I'm still in the early years,
So if I don't reply to your post,
It's not a reason for tears.

For I'm truly there in spirit
And feel for you I do,
And when I know a little more,
I'll try to help you too.

It is good to know you are there ElleMac. I loved your rhyme.

I was hoping to make this better but the topic arrived so I thought I would post it warts and all.You can visit more places in your mind and it is the cheapest form of travel.



Walter Mitty and me!

Well I have seen plenty towns and cities
Seen many forests and mountains too
Been over many oceans and rivers
But I always make my way home to you.

I don’t care for the air in the cities
Or the loneliness in the heights of Nepal
Crowded place make me feel dizzy
So I go where the wild eagles call.

I have heard the winds moan in the Sierras
Seen rains that caused mountains to cry
I have watched our life swiftly passing
You could time it in the blink of an eye

I sailed with Columbus on his discovery
Helped Lord Nelson to find his good eye
Rode beside covered wagons on the prairie
And prepared young Custer to die.

I have run with the rebels at Bull Run
Climbed Everest with Hilary that first time
Swam the Channel with Webb to Calais
Ran with Brasher and Bannister in the mile.

I danced to the dance band on the Titanic
Joined in as they played the hymns
Sat beside Glenn on the edge of the universe
And watched the whole world take a spin.

There were evil men like Stalin and Hitler
Thank God I was not one of them
And good ones like Schindler from Sweden
Who stood out like a beacon to all men.

I once took a sleigh ride in Nantucket
Attached to a glorious white whale
Spent a day in the life Ivan Denisovich
Joined Phineas Fogg on his 80 day trail.

I attended at the birth of a nation
Held our babies for their first cry
Left alone to dream like Walter Mitty
I can no longer tell truth from the lies.

Is it not all truth , whether you experience something in reality or in your mind?
Good poem whatever.
