Deficit you say?
I am the queen of losing track of my...
Squirrel... I mean,
Truthfully, as an ADHD woman I really have no greater skill than
Riffling through the rolodex of my mind to share with you
Any number of truly random and impressive facts,
Causing your jaw to drop and your mind to be boggled.
There is, for example, an herb that can pull out a tick head
If you apply it as a poultice.
Or, did you know that caterpillars completely breakdown into goo before
Neatly becoming a beautiful butterfly?
About the Creator
Meagan Dion
Hi, my name is Meagan. I am a mom to four kiddos whom I homeschool. I am also a glassblower, creator, and writer. I aspire to finish and publish my memoir, but it's going to take a lot of time and coffee. Coffee is a verb, do you coffee?

Clever! Congratulations on a well-deserved win.
Absolutely love this- because SAME. Sometimes I also turn into goo before I can fly again.
My sister is ADHD; she flits like a butterfly from one project to another. Love this piece, especially the coffee. I, personally, do coffee!
This is a great piece! Definitely put me in mind of many of the ADHD having people in my life.
You nailed this one! Well done!
Outstanding!!! Love this!!! Congratulations on T S too!!!❤️❤️💕
Very funny. Congrats on the TS
Great job and vision shone ❤️😉❗
Umm..., what were we talking about? Extremely well done & entertaining.
very good
OMG. Your “About the Creator” section! You had me at “Coffee is a verb.”😭 It was the cherry on top of the icing after reading your entry. ❤️
As a fellow ADHD'er, I found this funny and relatable!! Unfortunately, fortunately?! I like to think of it as an "attention kaleidoscope"!
This captured distraction well!
Hahaha that was an excellent take on the challenge… the distraction baked right in. Excellent stuff.
I adore the picture and the segue from “losing track of my … Squirrel!’ made me laugh. Great Distraction.
I'm not ADHD but find this relatable in some ways. Love the conversational style of this and all those interesting and informative sidesteps! Congrats on Top Story!
When you get some coffee send me some lol
Very funny
Beautiful squirrel
This is both serious and funny. Quite the coup in a short acrostic. Well done.
Love this! It's like looking into a mind mirror!
Hahaha well thanks for sharing the fun facts and thoughts from your wonderful mind 🧠
I'm ADD and this was so relatable! I just cannot focus for the life me, lol! Loved your poem! Congratulations on your Top Story!
Deficit you say? This poet's mind dances with squirrels and enlightens with random wonders, leaving jaws dropped and minds boggled.
