What I’ve Forgotten

Image created onCanva
I’ve forgotten
so many things.
I’ve forgotten
algebraic theorems
and geometric equations.
I’ve forgotten how
to say “eleven”
in Spanish and
where I laid my phone.
I’ve forgotten
what I did on my
eighteenth birthday
and how to
do a cartwheel.
I’ve forgotten
where I put
my keys and
how it felt to
love before you.

Paula Frew
Transplanted from Ohio to Kentucky to be near her only daughter and three young grandsons, the author wrote her first poem in the fourth grade. She fell in love with the form and was first published in an anthology at fourteen. A battle with multiple sclerosis has caused her to find her home in a nursing home, where she has found time to craft her poetry as well as time to teach writing to other residents. She has been published in several literary magazines and anthologies, including Ohio Bards and The Walt Whitman Anthology.
You can find Paula on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).
