Jupiterjane's words sir me at many levels. My first poem "Never" has an obvious linage to "I'm Trying" so I thought it an appropriate response. The second, "Our Memory Scaffold" wanders somewhat far afield, and doesn't seem appropriate as a Reply. In my heart, I know it is inspired by "I'm Trying", but I can't fully explain how or why. My Poems:
Never
Come
Let us sit a spell
Intimacy
The truth we'll tell
For you
Whom I call my friend
Never expect
The truth I'll bend
Ask me
Whatever
I said
Never!
My health?
Please that's too gory
Never
Expect to hear that story
"I'm fine"
Perhaps a lie
All I'll tell
Until I die
The standard
in our society
Nothing different
for PWP
AND
Our Memory Scaffold
Our lives we craft
to state our will,
a scaffold of memories
we purposefully build.
Crafted of poems,
quilts or bridges;
Each selects
their personal images.
The purpose?
Perhaps not so clear,
What is it
that our life holds dear?
In the present
Friends relate,
In the future,
Our true estate.
The next generation,
Did us know;
shared our scaffold
helped it grow.
That generation,
Honoring its place
Keeps us alive
beyond the chase.
Each generation
so much to do:
respect the past
raise the new.
So time wins,
our scaffold crumbles,
our memories
reduce to mumbles.
And we pass on
finally at rest,
Our memories were cherished
We are blessed!

Well if you can not make a go of your coconut plantation, you could probably make a living writing songs . Very Good, Thanks
First: We do not raise coconuts, but we do live on 10 acres and raise pecans and Iris. The Iris are a hobby we have several hundred different plants.
Second: I've never really thought of myself as a songwriter, but have been part of one song. About a year ago one of the contributors DeParkeyPoet published nine lines: Joe has no laces in his shoes, With each line ending the ooze sound: news, shoes, etc. I had a spark and responded with six lines each of which ended in an O sound: hello, pillow etc. Another contributor blondir is a songwriter from England. He saw our poetry and composed a song. He then added some really nice visual effects; the whole file comes to 87 MB too large to display and this post. We need to get it online somewhere, it was fun and all brought together because the Parkinson's.
Let me state concisely what is scattered to the prose above. The file is quite large 87 MB. I think that youTube can handle things this large but I know of no other well-known venue. It was put together by a three-man effort certainly anything we do to publicize it has to be approved by consensus. We have a general agreement that we will make it public provided that it helps benefit Parkinson's awareness. What we have right now needs an introduction to satisfy that last requirement. Getting this thing public is on my to do list but I have some very pressing matters that I have to tend to right now so there will be some delay. We will post a notice when it is available.
Two very deep poems. You are gifted with a kaleidoscope of words which I would love to have. They remind me of poems that students have to dissect , understand and form meaning off. Wonderful. I shall read again and do just that ..thank you

This is a frivolous post, but for me it's important.
Why do people insist on promoting the lie that PD doesn't kill?
