My Mind Is Addled

Submitted for contest: INSIDE MY HEAD - for "OLD" poets only - ; September 14, 2015 Haibun---Old Minds confusion, dream, how i feel, memory, nostalgia, MY MIND IS ADDLED My senior mind is game to rhyme And to find those lost thoughts of mine It tries to give a recount to all times forgot My mind sparks faint all incoming thought They are misread from all forethought templates And experiences up to this point fails to find its mate I try so hard to regain how I first thought as a child And how I could dream then and make that thought wild I had many trials and tribulations that were waylaid If not learnt early enough they were tirelessly displayed My thought reruns are taken from down a too long memory lane And my mind thinks on too far back to awake my tiered brain But unlike today when my mind is clear and comes awake To speak again to those in ear shot for old time sake! My old tongue gets tied My old mind addled When led to rethink
