Poor Mortal
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

Hacking the essence of verbage

While it lingers in my mind.

Always searching, searching

For a word I can not find.

 

A paradox of irregularities

That I mash within my mind.

Always that searching, searching

For a word I'll never find.

 

Day will come and dawn will show

That even the heavens offer

That which I cannot ascertain,

For I am but a poor old duffer.

I feel your pain. However, I have found that while I am mortal and have this failing for a loss of words, I am connected to the cloud through Google and even though I can't remember, I can always "search" something approximate, and the darn thing comes up with the word that I've been looking for. The only thing better would be a genie that would give me the winning numbers to the lottery!

a very much Oriental style of penmanship, which I like it. A good rhythm and laconic. Cheers, alex
