Alzheimer's

[ThePen]

It seems so blah to me, not quite sure how to fix it.

Nostalgia perched on frail limb,
Fading notes of mother's hymn.
Across the sea, a wooden mast,
Rips and creases mar his past.
Love surrounds, he's unaware,
Family grieves, he only stares.
A flash of white, a bitter taste,
Once again, another place.
A blink, a cry, he's so alone,
His body strikes, his heart still roams.
That fickle fate, trapped his mind,
A stranger, all it left behind.

This poem has a good progression. It starts with the frailness of the person and seems to end with the person's death. I like that you used a rhyming scheme of A/A B/B. I think that his poem has potential. Perhaps you could make a better use of punctuation. There are too many commas here and there, and they seem to arrange only to add pause and end verses.

All in all, a good poem.
