day 38

Today I left the house all day.
I went to see the film Fair Game with Naomi Watts and Sean Penn
GREAT FILM

again here I am with an empty head
an since I have to write a play and a paper in the next few days
I am cheating yet again
and I will share with you the free verse Poem I wrote for my class

again same theme!

In free verse what's important is the... rhythm and the images and all the stuff that's important in a formal poem
except in free verse you can change the rules
and by the way
there is a problem. It won't copy correctly so I have to insert periods for space
normally there are no ....s


Alzheimer and Son part II


Dad stands within the
kitchen.
Holds my hand and
stands.

............................................................fear, fear here, oh dear, flee fear, danger near
Father don’t falter,
Sit straight........................................ Who do you?
Finish the fish...............................................What’s true?
on your plate.....................................Go! No! Don’t want to.


........................................................................................ I need, I need to
Daddy’s doom,................................................. I need to. go
coming soon...........................................................need to go
heart races,
fear chases........................................... I need to go to the bathroom!

Pop poop?
Pee Daddy?
Pain prostate.
Wait till I
get the toilet! ............................................................Screams and moans.
..............................................................................Tries to strike.
......................................................................................Cry, cry, cry!
Father don’t falter,..................................................Fists are tight.
Stand dad stand..............................................................why, why, why?
Pop hold my hand,........................................................................... I need to go
it’ll be done soon...................................................................... to the bathroom!
