[Critique Group 1] October's Submission

[Deanna Noriega]

I was sure that I had sent it shortly after Returning from California, but
my gmail won't let me see anything sent after about November 2018. It
probably has something to do with the fact that I do read and delete stuff
using my phone more than my ancient, cranky old desktop machine. I am
seriously considering giving up on it and looking for an Apple Airbook to
replace my laptop, which has it's own set of quirks. I need to remember to
send my submissions to my embosser so that I have a hard copy that can't
disappear into cyber space. Is Sally submitting anything? I have Marcia's,
Leonard's and Cleora's. I will send out my poem in a separate email. I spent
two weeks beginning in Septemeber and ending in October with my 88 year old
mother. I pulled this poem up because although she is advancing in senile
dementia, I still see traces of the woman who raised me. Flashes of her
charm, intelligence, and wisdom still flicker under the surface of the
person who can't remember why she went to her bedroom or sometimes how to
dress herself. 

Thanks for your patience as I deal with my own health issues, those of my
spouse and my beloved mother's decline.
