Absentminded! Who Me?
Heather Hubler’s Unofficial Unscramble Challenge
Where’s my phone?
I demand.
Oh dear!
It’s right here…
In my hand!
I need glasses to see…
I even have three!
My mind bends a bit!
I get in a snit…
Where’s my shopping list?
Going without it…
I end up bent…
Sent…
Into a twist…
Enough to dement!
The foods’ all been eaten…
We’re not on a diet…
Think… beans… meat…
Take a stab… buy it…
I will not be beaten!
I admit…
I may seem rather sane…
But recalling times and dates
In my life’s quite a bane.
It gets intense
When my sock’s mate’s
Nowhere to be seen!
My shirt’s on backwards… in-side out!
I’m teased…
Yes, indeed!
How mean!
Oh, but the maddest…
Was when I made chicken pie…
Which wasn’t the best!
The chicken was absent!
All the same…
It’s kinda neat…
When your mind’s in the mist…
It’s hard to beat!

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.

Ah geez!! When your mind's in a mist...that's me all the time anymore!! This was wonderfully creative and all too real. And I'm so impressed you were able to fit in 35 words!!! Loved it :)
Ha! This was fab! It could also be me… I spent ages looking for my glasses the other night and then realized I was wearing them!
Oh, so relatable! I always think I can manage without the list but erm...no. I'll forget the main thing I went for. Great poem. :)
I have been known to yell that I’ve lost my phone when it is in my hip pocket; or can’t find my readers when they are propped on top of my head. Loved your poem!
Hahahahahahahhahaha chicken pie without the chicken! That was hilarious! Loved your take on this challenge!
What a great word choice! And what you did with it is outstanding!! This has so much charm to it! And honestly it’s a bit relatable…
humorous, rhythmic, and applicable to my brain.
This is great, how you tied those words together!
lol, I had cooked something and forgot one ingredient before. It's hard to be in the moment when you have a lot going on in your mind for sure. I have been doing mindfulness meditation a lot lately to help me.
Fun take on the challenge! And you exceeded the expectation. Great work, Angie !
Love this - there's a franticness to it and the flow is so fun and wired! Love your take on the challenge! Well done, Angie!
haha! Very cute and a reminder of a younger me. Now I just don't bother. Great entry!
